Subj: REPLY TO MSG #1938 (SCREEN HELP!)
Glad this BBS lets me delete my own messages! This is my 3rd call tonight.. :-) My first got yor response, and I said thanx and logged off. Then I tried it, and found out that varptr(b%(0)) has to have b% as integer, or the graphics were all messed up.. Not sure why.. I had this feeling (something about working with the IBM) that after 32768, it swaps to negative numbers... Anyway, I left you a thanx but it didn't work message with my thoughts on possible solutions.. Then, while playing with possible > 32768 to (-), I hit it! Take the number, and subtract 65536! (32768 twice.. :-) That makes it start over with negs.. and it works!! YEAY! Thanx for your help! It did help!! (Even tho I didn't get it that way.. but that's me.. :-) You know, at one point, I even wrote a program to print all the possibilities and watched it change till I saw a "y". (I gave up before that happened.. :^) Anyway, thanx alot.. I know it's not a SUPER program, but I just like to say I wrote something that worked! :-) P.S. If I wrote an addendum text file describing that and including my code (only 4 or 5 lines actually. per option.. load and save), could it be added to or included with the tech area? I'd hate to have someone have to do what I did.. (Like anyone else would be as bull headed as I am..) Or should I just upload it and let it serve as an example? Oh well, I ammuse easily so I'm psyched.. :-) TTYL and thanx for the help!
