#77753 - 2001-05-08 06:02 AM Bug in a box
cj cj MM club member Registered: 2000-04-06 Posts: 1102 Loc: Brisbane, Australia	This command: box(0, 0, 24, 79, single) should make a box that fits around a 80x25 dos window. It does for NT, but in Win95 it causes the screen to jump up. If you change the 79 to 78 or the 24 to 23 it doesn't, so I suspect it has something to do with the bottom right character on the screen. I noticed this bug in KiX3.63 but forgot, it is still here in k2k, can it be fixed or is this a Win9x unavoidable issue? cj

Anonymous Anonymous Unregistered	Don't know why NT doesn't do the same thing but in the case if Win9x, and everything which went before it, the reason is that when a character is printed the cursor moves to the next character position, which inthis particular example means the first character of the next line, which of course forces a scroll. Come to think of it, the same problem existed on everything else I used prior to using PCs. Perhaps NT is different because it's not built on DOS but merely emulates it.

When you write to last collumn in the last line, the Win9x API automatically inserts a linefeed. The following script will also put in an unwanted linefeed and scroll the screen: "Line 1" ?"Line 2" AT(24,79) "x" Get $x Erik
