Well, yes, I could squirt chars out to a serial port,
through a serial cable, back into another serial port which
is used by an ANSI terminal emulator program which handles escape
sequences as desired.

But I'd rather avoid this palava.
I already have code for operating the real display module
and I2C devices via a printer port, so I might as well do that.

The question is, how do I place text in the Visual C console?
Is there a command to move the cursor around,
or force it to interpret ANSI escape sequences?

Interesting to note that GNU C can create a simple DOS app
that can do the simple screen text output program I want
and is free, whereas Visual C++ can't, needs me to learn
to write a GUI-driven app which creates bigger code,
and costs hundreds. Hmm...!
