here is some sample code...the draw2 routine draws the number 2 on the 
screen using the h & v variables which specify it's starting position.
I am using the SUB LCATE to clean up the code write now. Might this be
slowing down the execution?

I pass the horizontal & vertical positions and what character to print.

draw2:
FOR t = 1 TO 5:
    lcate h + t, v, CHR$(205)
NEXT t
lcate h + 6, v, CHR$(187)
lcate h + 6, v + 1, CHR$(186)
lcate h + 6, v + 2, CHR$(188)
FOR t = 2 TO 5: lcate h + t, v + 2, CHR$(205): NEXT t
lcate h + 1, v + 2, CHR$(201)
lcate h + 1, v + 3, CHR$(186)
lcate h + 1, v + 4, CHR$(200)
FOR t = 2 TO 6:
    lcate h + t, v + 4, CHR$(205):
NEXT t:
RETURN

SUB lcate (x, y, x$)
Rdscrn.disp.CurrentX = x
Rdscrn.disp.CurrentY = y
Rdscrn.disp.PRINT x$
END SUB


Thanx for any additional info which anyone can provide.
