Flashing the output to the screen for a limited time

[kasiopi]

hi you all..

i want to flash the output message to the screen for a limited time.
can you plz help me ?

is there something in iomanip or somewhere else, or should i do something with system("pause") and system("clear").. although the latest dont seem to me like a good solution, e.g.

	  for (int n=0; n<10; n++) {
	    cout << n << endl;
	    system("pause");
	    system("pause");
	    system("pause");
	    system("clear");
	  }

thanks in advance

[edit] BTW. Please don't use system("WHATEVER").
