Setting cursor text..

Like in the command box, I want it to say something like "Command:(Text goes here)" So when someone types it looks like "Command: Hey!" Instead of "_", any help?

I suppose you aren't talking about GUI cursors (called "mouse pointers" by a lot of people)? Or are you talking about some command-line shell that prompts you with an underscore?

In Windows, the command for that is "prompt" followed by the new prompt text

C:\>_

C:\>prompt blah blah blah_

blah blah blah _

I dont think you can do this programmatically.

You could futz around with Runtime/Process or JNI.

The new Java 6 Console class doesnt seem like much help

though actually readPassword and readLine allow you to set

the prompt text.
