Maury, This was the problem. Apparently with M sees a !, it automatically resets $X, but writing a $char(13) doesn't. This seems kind of an odd mechanism. I was switching back and forth between writing files out to a file and writing the progress on the screen. It seems that there is only ONE

XGF seems to be good only if one is completely in control of all the output to the screen. Otherwise any writes can mess it up. As we discussed recently, the XGF demo hangs when I try to run it, so I have beeen less excited about it. thanks Kevin --- Gregory Woodhouse [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

I think MUMPS is actually more true to the original ASCII definition of what LF - line feed and CR - carriage return were originally intended to do. The \n format in C was a combination of LF and CR in its original incarnation. Like Greg suggests, it's too bad MUMPS is an old language and does

It would help to to know what your code looks like and exactly what you want the output to look like, but let me offer a couple of thoughts: 1. If you are using the ? tab format character, you need to let GTM know the position of the cursor. Using ! sets $X to 0. An escape sequence might set
