What do you mean display a number in a straight line?

Also what output method are you using? System.out, hsa.Console or something else?

I'm going to assume you're using Java, because nobody should use RTP over that.

As long as you never print a newline character, your input will continue on the same line. System.out.print() will print text without automatically appending a newline character on the end (as opposed to the println method, which does append the newline character.) When you want to go to a new line, just print a newline (\n) character.

[code]
System.out.print("This");
System.out.print("is");
System.out.print("all");
System.out.print("on");
System.out.print("one");
System.out.print("line");
[/code]

You can use System.out.print() instead of System.out.println().

System.out.print() does the job quite nicely. 

If you were to type:

System.out.print("This ");
System.out.println("is a test.");

The output would be This is a test.
