   that's correct... writeln sends the CRLF which moves the cursor down one line   
   and returns it to the left margin...

   what terminal are you using? check your terminal settings... i forget what it   
   is called but there is generally a setting for LF or CRLF... it sounds like   
   you just have LF which will simply move the cursor down a line but keep it in   
   the same column position...

   what makes you think this? especially if you are not sending any ANSI stuff...

   based on this is why i say "not sending ANSI stuff" above... if you don't have   
   a unit or whatever for ANSI then it shouldn't come into play...
