Just laying out a bit of groundwork before hand for this, adding the ability for any given string drawn with printstr() to have embedded newlines, as well as being able to override the text color.
This is done via character codes 1-31 (the unused Control codes that aren't avaialable for text in the OHR). For example, 13 signifies a line break due to its nigh universal usage for such (or, is it 10 that Unix uses? I always get them mixed up). I arbitrarily chose 1 and 2 for text fg/bg colours. Technically, this makes these features available to plotscripting strings, but to use them, you'd need to embed those characters directly into the plotscript file, which while doable, isn't very convenient. Or, you can use append ascii.... More thought on this is required. --- U wip/allmodex.bas _______________________________________________ ohrrpgce mailing list ohrrpgce@lists.motherhamster.org http://lists.motherhamster.org/listinfo.cgi/ohrrpgce-motherhamster.org
