Since looking around it seem no one thought to find a way to move the
cursor without the help of ncourses move() function I used this
"standard call" as an example I need to get. ncurses have a lot of code
involving a large number af features I don't need at the moment. I
tried to check the code inside ncurses for move the cursor but it seem
really complicated (at least for me that I'm not expert in Linux
programming).

This is the way I'm trying to follow at the moment but how is possible
to send control codes and get the reply directly to the console from C
code without have an echo in the screen? Do you know where is possible
to find an example code about?

Thank you
