No, but there is a caveat to that. It depends on you knowing something
about the display device.

For example, if you know the display device is a terminal (such as a Linux
command line) you can use the ANSI escape sequences to move the cursor
around. See here for more info: http://www.termsys.demon.co.uk/vtansi.htm
