I am a student at university and i have a small problem with my
assignment. I need to find out how to use the movecursor procedure in
the screen package, as i have to format the page in the following
fashion.
Name Address Suburb Postcode Exam Assign Final
There is another line under this but i need to be able to line up the
corresponding strings with the titles above.
Could someone please help me out.

Mark,
You have at least two choices:
1. Use Text_IO.Set_Col(To => ##) before calls to Put
2. Write your own Goto_XY procedure which emits the correct screen
control characters (see documentation for your display)
Good luck!

Hello!
Hm, do you really nead to move your cursor --- or just to format the table
so it looks nice? Maybe it will suffice to use bounded Strings or even
to just use the width parameter of the Put procedures.
Just thinking
