Alan, thanks. I am getting the coordinates fine now. However, the redraws
are partial only and in my little test routine only the redrawn
part uses the new information. For testing I am just DrawString-ing the
updated coord's and it literally cuts the text and characters into pieces,
leaving the old numbers in the area not in need of update and putting the
new numbers or parts thereof into the updated part.
If you can send me your routines I can probably figure out what else I
have to do.
BTW, I am (still) using MacPerl 5.2.1. I wouldn't think it matters but
anyway...
Tx,
