you can simply use 
locate(row, column) 
and

put "*"

then decide how you want the user to move it could be a get staement to get the row and column

I would suggest using locatexy or moving a box around the scrren

Mabye you were looking for something like this?

var column: int

put "Choose a column for line ",
    "between 1 and 80 inclusive"
get column

cls

for row: 1..25
    locate (row,column)
    put "*"..
end for

This will draw a line verticly from top to bottem on the screen. You can add a delay if you want to to make it go slower or faster, up to your choise.
