9986 :: Cursor Location for user input.

  I noticed when using user input, the cursor always shows below the request for the user to input information. Not sure I'm placing this so it should request on the same link as the user input -

  
  Example:
  
  import os
  
  while true:
    
    echo "Enter a file path > "
    let file_path = readLine(stdin)
    
    var x = 0
    for (_, item) in walkDir(file_path):
      echo item
      inc(x)
      sleep(500)
    echo ""
    echo "Number of itmes found: ", x
  Run

  Use

   write(stdout,"Enter a file path > ") 
  Run

  rather than

   echo "Enter a file path > " 
  Run
