Hi all!
I've created a small printing framework based on the "eips" utility in the Kindle. It's written as a shell script which you can source and use its functions.
Features:

• prints on the screen
• auto new-lineing
• auto scrolling
• small formatting utility
• you can print "-i" on the screen with it! (try it with eips... no good)

Limitations:
This tool is limited by eips, so:

1. certain characters are replaced by similar ones / totally OT ones
2. the "\" character is not replaced (stupid shell.. don't know why )

Function list:

• mp_reset -> resets screen+options
• print <text> -> prints text with no newline at the end
• printn <text> -> prints text with newline at the end
• pcenter <text> -> prints text centered on the line
• psetpos <x> <y> -> sets cursor position on the screen
• pback -> moves back one character on the line
• pbackf -> erases character under cursor and moves back one character on the line
• pbackline -> if the X cursor position is zero, moves to previous line, else sets x=0
• pbacklinef -> like pbackline + erases line
• pscroll <num> [from] -> scrolls num lines (if from is set, skips from lines from the up)
• pprintf <text> -> prints text with formatting
• pprintfn <text> -> like pprintf but with the newline at the end

The last two options allow you to print some program output to the screen like this:

pprintfn "$(ls)"

which prints dir listing to the screen.
Configurables: (enabled means set to 1)

• mp_h -> if enabled, text is printed out highlighted
• mp_scroll -> sets num lines to autoscroll;0=erase entire screen
• mp_scroll_from -> num of lines which won't be erased when scrolling/erasing (from up)

How to use:

source /path/to/pfw
# it will init automatically
printn "Hello world!"

This one started as screen printing helper in web jailbreak, but I decided it would be good to refine it and share. Hope my effort was useful!
