This short test works for me, both on a pure DOS system, and in a DOS
window under Win95. Note that you must flush the output to insure the
string is actually written to the console at the current cursor
position, and not buffered. 

---------------------------------  test.c
----------------------------------

int main(void)
{
	gotoxy(1,1);
	printf("Hello");
	fflush(stdout);
	gotoxy(40,12);
	printf("World");
	fflush(stdout);
	gotoxy(65,23);
	fflush(stdout);
	printf("!!!");
	return 0;
}
