It's not a bug, it's a feature:-)
The conio routines handle '\n' differently to the C stream functions:
'\n' is a newline, which means that the cursor is placed into the line
below.
'\r' is a carriage return, which means that the cursor is placed at the
beginning of the line.
Conio mode is comparable to a typewriter (if you are old enough to know such a
thing:-), where newline and carriage return were two different things. The
reason is to give you more control over cursor movement.
