But can't we play with it here?

                                Cursor Positioning

 ANSI Code
                                 Cursor Position
                                                                                       Where...
"Esc"[r;cH      Moves the cursor to line r and column c
                If omitted, r and c both default to 0 (ie. the cursor
"Esc"[r;cf      moves to the top left corner of the screen)
                                     r is the line number
                                     c is the column number
                                     n is an integer

"Esc"[nA        Moves the cursor up n lines (or top of
                 screen)

"Esc"[nB        Moves the cursor down n lines (or bottom of
                 screen)

"Esc"[nC        Moves the cursor right n columns (or right hand
                 side of screen)

"Esc"[nD        Moves the cursor left n columns (or left hand side of
                 screen)

"Esc"[s         Saves current cursor position

"Esc"[u         Restores cursor to previously saved position
