Not that it will help the OP much, but the Janus/Ada runtime libraries 
include a package called System.NT_Console, which provides access to the 
various console operations of Win32. With that package, he'd get the 
standard output console handle (only need to do once), then call 
Set_Console_Cursor_Position to set the position, and then do his write. It 
would be easy to wrap that to make it easier.

For GNAT, I would presume the needed operations are available in the Win32 
packages (not sure about the details), although it is easy enough to write 
pragma Imports to bind them yourself.
