I got really flustered today when I kept running my Notepad program, and could not maintain text on the screen, after i copied the graph buffer for my cursor moving routine. I used " set 4,(iy+$14)" to set text write to the graph buffer, but obviously this wasnt enough btw, i used " set textinverse,(iy+textflags)" in the prog too. -Harper Maddox jerky@ebicom.net IRC nick: Geori ICQ: 1214597
