A couple of ideas:
1) just print to the IDLDE, who cares old lines scroll up and away.
The last line will always be what you last printed, and it
will almost look like it is replacing. The advantage is that you
have to change nothing.
This to me sounds like when a client wants something done, and
I have to tell them what they really want done. :)

2) create a new procedure like "printstatus" that does what you want,
and then globally search and replace all your print functions.

Cheers,
bob
