I'll put the same explanation here, but in short, the last line of output from the program is where it's always writing output "...", etc. Whenever the program exits, it was printing a set of 80 space characters to overwrite whatever characters had last been displayed but with a trailing ',' to omit the newline. However, a newline was added anyway on program exit. By printing a carriage return after all the whitespace had overwritten the existing output, I was able to prevent the newline from being added while still achieving the desired effect.
