Reduce use of carriage returns #97

Open pfee opened 2 years ago

Issue #53 relates to unwanted carriage return characters.

Their purpose it to redraw an existing line. However they're only needed on occasions where the line needs output more than once. If there's only one version of the line to output, then the \r characters can be avoided.
