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!
