It does work, normally (at least it did so far, for all of us). You're
just not using it correctly.

Sure of that? What did you learn that from? I.e.: have you *looked* at
the program working (outside RHIDE, preferredly), to check where the
cursor really is?

gotoxy() and printf() *do* *not* work together. Generally spoken,
functions from <conio.h> and <stdio.h> don't work together very well,
if at all. They never did. If you want to printf to the position set
by gotoxy(), use 'cprintf()' (from <conio.h>) instead. For details,
consult the FAQ.

Sorry, but this is nonsense. This problem has nothing to do with the
line-buffering issue.
