As far, as I see, you are experienced or at least interested in texteditors in general, right? Well, the buffer gap has advantages and disadvantages. There was a long dicussion about it in the dedicated newsgroup and I don't want to repeat it. The problem I have with all this is, that it seems, that you are in the process of writing a texteditor widget on the server side, right? At least it will be not only visualisation of text, but also editing. What I wanted was, to port a still existing editor, but on the client side. Thatfor I just would need all the things available in the terminal widget, but without the special terminal escape sequences. I just would need an array of characters (for me monospaced) and a movable cursor. THis all is just visualisation. The real work on the text is done on the client side, where really MBs of text could be worked on. So, what do you say? How could this be done? Well, I also see the need of a thing, like you want to do it. :-) It is often needed and I thought PGUI still would have such an edit box... :-| -- Martin Doering ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Stuff, things, and much much more. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Pgui-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pgui-devel
