Just want simple program to display various temperature and rpm outputs

I am just trying to find or make a simple program that will display like 30 or so lines of temperatures from the Arduino. The serial monitor i don't like because it always makes a new line, i need a field that is just refreshed with each output.
I tried java but i don't have enough experience, its a bit to complicated for me. And i am downloading Max 6.1 to see how that goes but i really don't need something that complex.

Any thoughts?

never tried this, maybe will tomorrow but, get a program like putty then before you send an update

Serial.write(27);
Serial.write(50);
Serial.write(74);

it MIGHT clear the screen before printing a new line (if you have vt100 emulation setup, which I think is default... I have to check it out, but its late)
