Removing Outputted Text
Hi all.
I know that there is a way to remove outputted text from the console, yet I don't know how and there isn't anything on it in my book. I want to use it to clean up the text adventure game that i'm making. anybody out there have any ideas?

As far as I know, removing specific lines and stuff is not possible, but clearing the entire screen is.
People suggest not to use system commands, but no one ever offers an explanation as to why, so the way I do it is to make a function that simulates clearing the screen.
EDIT: There actually is a way to simulate removing specific words and lines, etc. It involves using a position handle and writing text to a specific position on the screen. You could simply write a bunch of spaces where you want to remove a word/line etc. I'm not very experienced with it, so I wouldn't be much help with it. Maybe someone else knows more about it though.
