Hello dear programmers,

I am using the <windows.h> library in C with Code::Blocks 10.05 to draw small Boxes with ASCII extended characters. I am making use of a header file so that the caller program is nice and small. I created a small box with over 80 lines. Is there a way to iterate so that that box previously drawn will be shown 7 times on the screen.
