Is there any way of retaining the ability to move the cursor around (in a console window) while for example a FOR loop is running ?

Sure, you can place your equivalent of gotoxy inside the loop, but what exactly do you want to do?
-Prelude
My best code is written with the delete key.
just put a 'gotoxy' in your for...loop, so it updated the cursor ever time it goes through the for loop each time
The cursor movement is coming from the user,
that would pause my for loop (waiting for the input)
I need it the for loop to be "way" in the background,
like while it's running, allow the user to input a key
but
keep looping.
....a little tougher now....
well this is the similar question going around in the C++ game tread in C++ forum. The problem is running a part of the program when the program is waiting for a input..
A program can't do two things at the same time...
So you have to use 'Threads', but they are not Standard C++
Hope you don't mind my bad english, I'm Austrian!
