[Tutor] carriage return on windows

Hello,

I'm trying to have a loop in a program print a message so I know it's 
status.  Right now I'm using

print "Percent completed:" + str(percent) + "\r"

Which should send me back to the beginning of the line and overwrite it 
with a new line.  But instead I get:

Percent completed: 50
Percent completed: 51
Percent completed: 52
Percent completed: 53

and so on.  Am I using this wrong, and if so, what is the right way to 
implement something like this?

Thanks for any help!

Bill
