This may be a trivial question but so far for me it has not
been trivial.  I need the following routines for the Amiga.
(In C of course)

Up()      /* Moves the cursor up 1 position */
Down()    /*                  down          */
Right()   /*                  right         */
Left()    /*                  left          */

Clear()   /* Clears the screen and moves cursor to screen location 0,0 */
Home()    /* Moves the cursor to 0,0 without clearing the screen */

Cursor(x,y) /* Moves the cursor to location x,y */

If I get a routine Cursor(x,y) then that would also handle the Home()
function as well...

Is there simple way to do this say by sending ascii codes to a printf
statement or something?  I am a newcomer to the Amiga scene and have
not bothered with any of the Intuition stuff as of yet so if use of
Intuition can be avoided then that would be great.  If not then I
guess I'll have to put my nose in the Rom Kernel manual and grind
away.
