I didn't say the "pascal standard", I said Pascal as in Pascal compilers,
it's called the Crt Unit, and it gives fonctions such as:
TextColor
TextBackground
GotoXY
Window   functions....Free Pascal has it, Borland pascal had it, Virtual
Pascal has it, GNU Pascal I believe uses something different, but I'd have
to double check if it has a Crt Unit or not.

Anyway I'm not looking for Pascal on this forum, but these are the kind of
functions I'm looking for. :-)
