    Not using any ANSI standard functions, no. Depending on your OS/compiler, yes. You can do it with curses in *nix.

    Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.

    The only way I can think of doing it would be creating a type of custom display control (for lack of a better phrase) where you have your strings stored and you display the ones that aren't empty, then have a function to clear a desired string.
