If working on Win32, you can use the following API functions to
control your console cursor position (works well with the standard Ada
Text_IO package):
1) Wincon.SetConsoleCursorPosition ==> Sets the cursor position (Col,
Row)
2) Wincon.SetConsoleTextAttribute ==> Set the text color (including
background)
3) Wincon.SetConsoleCursorInfo ==> Changes the corsor shape.
You can also check out some of the other Win32 API function in the
Win32Ada Wincon package for more functionality.
