Anyway, the point is that the input field will typically be displayed after a string printed by outstring (on the same row), such as "Continue (Y/n)?". So instring erases the current line (and therefore also the "continue" prompt). Not good.

I see.  I don't have any simple solutions in mind - for what you're

programs that talk to a server which manages the screen. But that wouldn't get done by Tuesday...
