Thanks in advance. For my best knowledge ROOT has no conception of the "Console Windows" at the moment. By this reason it has no classes (whatsoever) to control it. ROOT works with "stdout" streams only and has no idea this stdout is associated with some "screen" buffer. This is this an usual UNIX approach. This means to control your windows you have to apply the platform specific API. I mean you may yourself create some "Console Control class" interface and provide several implementations for the different platforms. Since you are speaking about "MS DOS" I suspect :) you want to work under Windows. MS does provide a library to control "Console Window". Let me know if you need a further assistance here.
