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.
