I can not seem to figure out how to move the cursor to a specific location
on the output screen in a console application. I want to position the cursor
for user input.
Any thoughts on the best way to do this with MS C++ standard v6? I seen to
remember their was a way to to it with a locate(r,c) macro but i can not
find my notes from last semester.

I can not seem to figure out how to move the cursor to a specific location
on the output screen in a console application. I want to position the cursor
for user input.

This can't be done in ISO standard C.

MS C++ standard v6 is off-topic here. This newsgroup is for the C
language, not for any particular compiler. Please ask in
comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.win32 or contact Microsoft directly.

Sorry, this is off-topic in comp.lang.c because it cannot be done
in a portable manner with standard C.

As Irrwahn pointed out, this is off-topic, so I sent it to the newsgroups
below under the title, "Moving the screen cursor in a console app". You
should get better responses there (including mine).
