it's probably way too user-friendly for Fortran, but waht I want
to do is;

         WRITE(*, ... ) (' enter number of widgets; ')
         READ(*,*) NWIDGET

(where the WRITE format ... means whatever technique is necessary)
in such a way that the terminal does not recieve a newline after
the WRITE statement has been processed.  it has to be ANSI standard
Fortran 77 (I know it can be done on HP's and VAXen, but I need it
to be portable).

this way, I can read in a lot of data on the same screen, without having
previous questions and answers scroll away... the scheme will be used
for terminal I/O on a variety of terminals, from VT-100 to Tek 4014
to ...

thanx in retreat,
