Greetings fellow netters,

I've started to write a program using both text and graphics modes.  Why I use
text mode I'm not sure.  Anyway, the program must use graphics mode, but I
also switch things on and off, currently from a small text block saying what
key to press.

What has been suggested to me of which I had previously thought about, is to
use some pull down menus or the like.  Therefore I would be most grateful for
any help/pointers/pointers to specific archive files, so that I could possibly
incorperate this in my program.

I've been looking at the qwik/pull files at simtel20 but to have nice pull down
menus, it has to be in text mode.  Of course it would be nice to have something
like this, but currently any cheap and dirty method would be a starting point.

I'm a bit nieve (sp?) about this so, any help just to save the screen area,
draw window, ...functions..., and restore screen, would be most helpful.
I'm currently using TPv5.5, but TP6.0 is supposed to be in the post, running
on a pc with a vga monitor.

Please respond by mail     nbb@uk.ac.essex

Many thanks    Nigel
