Best Way to Clean Up Code

local function drawBottomLineDisplay()
  term.setCursorPos(1, height)
  local lnstr = "L"..currentLine..", C"..currentChar
  term.clearLine()
  local dispstatus = status
  if dispstatus:sub(1, 4) == "err:" then
	dispstatus = status:sub(5, #dispstatus)
	doSetColor(colors.white, colors.red, true)
  end
  term.write(dispstatus)
  doSetColor(colors.white, colors.black)
  term.setCursorPos(width-#lnstr, height)
  term.write(lnstr)
end

local function drawBottomLineDisplay()
  --# These three functions work together to achieve
  --# one thing. That's what I call a "paragraph".
  --# That term doesn't actually exist in that sense, I believe.
  term.setCursorPos(1, height)
  local lnstr = "L"..currentLine..", C"..currentChar
  term.clearLine()

  --# You should always insert newlines before and after blocks like
  --# this if statement here.
  local dispstatus = status

  if dispstatus:sub(1, 4) == "err:" then
	dispstatus = status:sub(5, #dispstatus)
	doSetColor(colors.white, colors.red, true)
  end

  --# Achieves one thing...
  term.write(dispstatus)

  --# Achieves a different thing.
  doSetColor(colors.white, colors.black)
  term.setCursorPos(width-#lnstr, height)
  term.write(lnstr)
end
