Thanks. I tried your trick. It works. I was using the backspace
character \b, which did not help. The \r absolutely helped.

How about the growing dots (......)?

Of course, simply growing the dots is easy, but I am not sure how to
remove all those dots and then start growing from scratch on the same
line again. Could anyone of you shed some light on this? Thanks.

It would be pretty much the same as the "spinning line", except that rather than writing the \r character each time, you'd only write it when you'd written as many periods as make up the line you want (presuambly, no more than there are characters wide on your console :) ).
