I've wrote a task to output the time.  I want to continually update the 
time every second in the lower right hand corner of the screen without 
causing a new line and without clearing the entire screen.  I've tried 
set_col and set_line but it causes a new line.  I've been successful 
using AdaGraph v0.5 but its other input and output operations are very 
limited.  Basically, can I overwrite existing text without clearing the 
entire screen or causing a new line?  Hopefully, still having Ada's 
input and output commands still available.

Thanks,
