It has nothing to do with the termcap or terminfo, since you are echoing
directly. Anyway, THERE IS direct addressing capability in both console
and rxvt and it is the same string - "\E[<line>;<column>H". Both line
and column start from 1. e.g. to position to line 10, column 30 you
should do: echo -en "\033[10;30H"

BTW. The terminfo capability name is "cup". You can do infocmp (like I
did) and see its definition.

Ehud.
