Hello Tim,

thanks again for your answer.

I think that, in PHP-CLI (console) environment, the screen is treated
as a common file, and every character output is send in a raw mode...
like if you use PHP under web development (where every output byte is
send through the net).

So, seeing Stefan Walk ProgressBar
(http://pear.php.net/package/Console_ProgressBar) I realized that using
ANSI terminal chars' control, you change the console behavior, so it
apparently deletes a char and writes a new one.

Best,

Sebastian
