Overwriting the terminal output line [message #29323]

Does anyone know how to overwrite the terminal output line?

The following does not do what I want:

IDL> FOR i = 0, 10 DO PRINT, i, FORMAT = "($, 'i = ' ,I4, T1)"
i = 0i = 1i = 2i = 3i = 4i = 5i = 6i = 7i = 8i = 9i = 10IDL>

The $ supresses the newline, but T1 does not reposition the
pointer to the beginning of the line.

I would like to see:

IDL> FOR i = 0, 10 DO PRINT, i, FORMAT = "('i = ' ,I4, ?????)"
i = 10

Where "i = 10" has overwritten "i = 9", etc.

Thanks, Ken
