How do I stop text from scrolling?
#1
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
hen they say it can't be done, THAT's when they call me ;-).

Actually whenever I wanted to just print individual characters in QB, I would just use POKE. Nice and fast too. :wink:

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. Cry
