If you go through the normal GEMDOS console output calls, it emulates a VT52 terminal, which, true to form, scrolls the entire screen at once (and they evidently didn't put scrolling regions into their emulation). But if you go through the VDI, it doesn't emulate anything, so you must handle scrolling yourself. And slow scrolling/character update is the bane of any completely graphics oriented computer, Macintosh, Amiga, ST... any of them. I would have appreciated a text mode. -- ....!ucbvax!hplabs!amdahl!drivax!holloway My balogna has a first name, it's Jimbob. My balogna has a second name, it's Boltwangle.
