I need a little help from someone who knows more about pads and
windows than I do ...

I have a program which creates a pad with a window and then uses stream i/o
to write a message into the pad. When the message is completed, the stream
is closed and deleted so that the user can make the window and is asscoociated
pad go away by typing EXIT or control-N in the window. I have been trying
to find a way to leave the window positioned to the top of the pad (in case
the message contains more lines than the window can display), but I have
been unsuccessful. The stream close always seems to leave the cursor at
the end of the message. Anyone have any hints?
