It's soooo Koooolllll.
Did you know that the "new" (non-legacy) INPUT statement will SCROLL horizontally? The docs don't seem to mention this. At least I didn't notice it.
I coded
length 250 & Local longdata$
Clear
print (CS)
print @(0,1);'Enter'
Input @(0,3),longdata$
print @(10,0); "*"; longdata$; "*"
wait
when the cursor got the end of the window, the input field SCROLLed left!! WOW and WOW. Ya gotta love it. You can enter 250 characters in an 80 column space on the screen!!
Now I gotta try this with backgrounds surrounding the input field....
