I am not sure what you mean.

The role of the screen management routines is to find the 
most optimal way to update the physical screen so that it looks like
the visible on.  To do achieve this it uses escape sequences to move
text around on the physical display.  However, if your terminal
can display a character such as 0xA0 as a blank, then you might try
calling
 
   SLsmg_write_string ("\xA0");

at the end of each line.

How do you intend to access this "invisible" character once it has
been written out?

Thanks,
