Thanks for the details, I see several code bits I'll have to play with. I got the screen clearing bit no problem, thanks for that one. I'm still not used to being able to just use c libraries.
I don't actually have a need to draw the cursor all over the screen for any practical application either personal or work, but I've got a bit of a fascination with linux terminals being able to draw progress bars or "busy" animations and figured I'd have a little fun. :] I came across "curses" which looks to be included in activepython so that might be of some use for my linux programming. Thanks again.
