The sequence is incorrect, you need a 'H', not an 'm'.

Try the following function which does the same thing:

	void place(st, rw, cl)
	char *st;
	int rw, cl;
	{
		printf("\033[%d;%dH%s", rw, cl, st);
	}

In the above, the \033 expands to the ESC character (no need to type it
explicitly), and you call the function by place("string", 3, 6) for example.

Cheers,

Jonathon.
