home cursor

Am working on first C++ program. Running DOS and
using GNU C++ compiler with conio.h - can clear the screen but unable to home the cursor or color the text. Have read all the FAQs that I can find,
purchased C++ for dummies (am newbie), and have browsed the net in hopes of finding a program with the correct syntax. Appologize for what must be the 'same old question' but would appreciate a small boost up the learning curve.

regards,
Bill

ah [function] = 2, dl = y_coord, dh = x_coord, bh = video page [set to zero...] int 0x10... to color, tinker with b800:0000...

hth, ask if you are confused...
