Console bug
#3
(02-21-2026, 09:06 PM)SMcNeill Wrote: Does it actually LOCATE in Linux?  I thought those were only Windows console commands.  I remember adding a lot of stuff like LOCATE into the console for us back a few years ago, but I had no clue how to implement them for Linux/Mac.  It may be that it's reporting the location properly for you just because it's not moving the print location from 1,1.
LOCATE does work as you would expect in all three platforms. CLS and COLOR even work. 

The only way I have found to get the position in Linux/macOS is to use the escape sequence ESC[6n through a shell script and copy that to the clipboard, which is a bit of a hassle. If someones interested, I can post the code for that. Its not pretty.
