Need help with video terminal display

I am using the video terminal object. I was wondering if their is a way to have the prop refresh just the variable and not the whole line? for example

what I have:

x = 23
x = 23
x = 24
x = 23
x = 25
x = 23
you get the point

what I want is
x = 23

In short I do not want it to stream down the page.
Thanks

    Look at the comments in the source code. You'll see that there are some control codes for positioning the cursor back to the same point on the display, then you output the number and a couple of blanks to clear the extra columns if the number is short. Don't output a return after the number.
