[Tutor] carriage return on windows

[Jacob S.]

I don't think that's what he wants. I think he wants to *overwrite* what's 
in the shell with new output.
For example.

Python 2.4 (#Stuff)
...
>>>
Percent complete: 50


becomes...

Python2.4(#Stuff)
...
>>>
Percent complete: 51

so that the whole line is overwritten. In my experience, this is not 
possible and if anyone can show me how to do it,
I would be grateful.

HTH,
Jacob
