I need a way to display text to the user without it skipping to the next line after a string has been displayed.
Just for an example:

usr << "Hello"
usr << "Jim"

I would want it to display

Hello Jim

instead of

Hello
Jim

If someone could help me out, or if I am unclear, please reply.

usr << "Hello Jim."//for plain text

usr << "I am [varname] var"//for vars in text

Heh, I guess I wasn't quite clear. I have trouble wording things a lot lately. I'll take another shot I guess.

I need a way to display different things at different times, but on the same line.
Think of a calculator. You press a number, it displays a number. You press another number, it displays that number on the same line as the first, so if you pressed one twice, it would display

11

and not

1
1


Hopefully that cleared it up a bit O_o

Use the "\..." macro, which I think is described somewhere in the reference but I'm not sure where.

usr << "My name is \..."
usr << "Jim"

returns "My name is Jim"
