I recieved a ton of responses!
Many thanks to all!

Simply put, the answer is:
Use tput(1) for shell scripts, and termcap(3x) and curses(3) for C.

Right now I'm trying to stick w/ just ksh scripts.
Here's a quick example of tput usage sent to me by Paul Sand:

tput clear ; tput cup 10 10 ; echo "hi" ; tput cup 23 0

Btw, "cup" stands for CUrsor Position.

Thanks again!
