I have an IRC bot I wrote, and I would like to have it so that in the
console window, the bottom one or two lines are always blank.
In other words, I want puts/print to output to the second line from the
bottom instead of the bottommost line.
I am aware that this could be done with curses/ncurses, but I have been
unable to find any decent documentation for them in Ruby.
If possible I would like to avoid the need to use (n)curses.

May I ask why you want to avoid ncurses? It is, in general, a hard
problem to do this sort of thing portably across platforms and
terminals, and this is the exact problem curses is meant to solve.

60 seconds of Google searching, and behold:
A quick stop at rdoc.info, and:

You probably won't easily be able to.
Best,
