Hello

I want to display some messages on the screen and have a maximum of say
20, newest at top would be nice. MLE or browse or something

How would you do it?

Thanks

Martin

Martin,
have you to pay for every word you write ;- ?
Not much to chew on:

"Screen": Shell or window, modal or not, always visible or not ??
"messages": coming from? Old ones accessible? Saved by some means
exterior to the screen?

I have an output form, essentially a dlg with a mle.
When i have to add new text, i put it with an additiona CLRF to var,
read mle:text, +=, and write var back into mle, no big deal...

In that case it's also easy to use a window and put ft controls on it,
you can give the ft controls the right markup and you can fill these
ft's at runtime in a loop

Console window.

when new display line arrives...
store window less bottom line to a variable
restore it one line lower
paint the new line on row 1, being sure to space fill over the old line
