I have looked on compuserve and genie (the 2 pay nets I have accounts on)
and can't find what I am looking for there or in any of the books I have.

I need a few pages of code which can do the following:

On a custom window and screen, I need to be able to place a string at
any Cursor position on the screen.  I also need to be able to get a 
string of input starting from a cursor position.  For example, let's say
Name:  John
is located beginning at Row 4, Column 1.  Now, if a new name is being
entered, I want to cut out John (let's assume the max stringlenth of 
Name can be 15 characters although in this case it is currently 4 followed
by 11 more spaces or nothings) and reposition the cursor where the letter
J was so they can enter a new name, say Barney Rubble.

In otherwords, 
Display Name:  at 4,1
Display John   at 4,8
When getting a command, say F1, to change the name, 
blank out the string at 4,8 which says John (maxlength = 15) and position
the cursor for input at 4,8 for a max input of 15.

I have not been able to do this but need to for a project.
Also, if you know how to recognize a menu selection, please create a mini-
menu and show perhaps selection of Change Name.  I know how to create
menus but do not know how to recognize selection of a menu item so as to
act upon it.

Many Thanks in Advance,
