Assembly Tutorial 16 - More On Cursor Positioning
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQ5lx3YKqWc&feature=relmfu

There was a program called goto.exe that may have used a similar technique to the assembly thing that was mentioned here, but the text it writes would then scroll off the screen. The text would have to be rewritten. Hence a previous poster mentioned that it'd have to be a TSR. (or somehow a version of cmd.exe with an updated prompt).

A batch file displaying IP is nice, I use one but I want to be able to glance at the screen and see it. Not re-entering a command each time I forget.

And as mentioned, I am not keen on using the TITLE to do it 'cos I already use the title to summarise what i'm doing there so if I have to bring a cmd window back up I know what cmd prompt i'm opening.

Taripo, I wrote a program that moves the cursor to a certain position - it's called gotoxy. It's on the page at: http://batchbin.ueuo.com/programs.php but as you mentioned, you'd have to keep re-writing the text.....

EDIT: removed title command thing.

Maybe a batch file that emulates CMD and uses gotoxy after each command to re-display the ip address at the top of the screen, like:



Or, I could write an EXE that's like CMD but dedicates a few lines at the top of the screen to user-defined information like IP addresses or anything? Any takers?

Thanks

Why not just set your cmd prompt to be your IP address.

That's an easy solution!
