Hi everyone,
I need to know how to create region(s) on the screen that are
independent from normal screen i/o (mainly, scrolling..). Most terminal
programs have a line or two somewhere on the screen that doesn't scroll.
Usually these are status displays to show useful information (baud rate,
system connected to, various toggles, etc..).
I've searched my wonderful MWC manual, but there's no mention on how
to create something to this effect. If I had $250 to plunk down for
developer docs, I'd do that. If Atari was more leniant with disclosure
of USEFUL information for the ST, I might be able to buy books that
describe just what I want to do. In that respect, the 8-bit was much
more enjoyable to program than the ST. Hmm, it seems that my request
for help is becoming a flame, so I'll cool my jets now..
Hopefully I won't have to write custom screen i/o routines to do
this.. Ahh, I wish the ST had a display list.. :-)
