Agreed... If you want it to output correctly to the user, you'll need to set up some sort of screen partitioning so that you have a scrollable region and a region that doesn't screen, and you could dedicate 1 line of the non-scrolling region to outputting your little progress bar there... Unfortunately, this is done w/ VT100 codes, and not all mud clients support them, so no matter how hard you try, you'll always have someone that gets their progress bar split up by outputted text...
