  I can't figure what to pass for a File in https://nim-lang.org/docs/terminal.html#setCursorPos,File,int,int

  Thanks, Mark

  Actually stdout works, stdin produces OSError. Thanks!

  @markprocess, any File object should work, excluding stdin, because that's where user input comes from. stdout, stderr or any file opened with open.

  You can always look at the source: https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/blob/master/lib/pure/terminal.nim#L792

  Ouch. I didn't know there was a section below procs that had a better proc (i.e. a template that doesn't need the File argument.)

  No worries :) We all miss stuff sometimes.
