If you are on an ANSI-type terminal (VT100, etc, perhaps even the DOS
window), you can check out STATUSLINE in my library for some pointers
on how to move the cursor around on the screen. The essence of the
script is that I use the various ANSI escape codes to push the cursor
to the desired place. I use it everyday to do exactly what you are
describing.
