I want to 'start drawing at the beginning of the current line'

I think what has confused this is he wants to use AT, and the answer is, you can't use AT unless you keep up with the output, or as Richard suggested, use another program to keep up with the cursor.

This seems clear as mud. Maybe CB6040 can point us in the right direction.

I mean, if he placed the text on the screen with AT(), and was careful not to let it overflow and scroll, he would know where to put the checkmark AT().

As I understood it, he wanted to return to the beginning of the line he is currently on.
