How do I stop text from scrolling? - Pyrodap - 06-16-2005
Code:
WIDTH 40,40
LOCATE 40,40
PRINT "X"Is there any way to print something on the bottom row without it causing the page to scroll up?

In QB you could have done
LOCATE 40,40
PRINT "X";
the semi colon would stop it from scrolling....see if that works

That trick doesn't work on all computers though. I had a Compaq that had a weird dos font address... I couldn't play alot of games because of it.
