Subject: Help with screens

Basically, when you open a screen, give it a public screen name (and
make if public of course :-))

Then, when you open a window, specify the public screen that your had
just created.

Subject: PROBLEMS....PROBLEMS...PROBLEMS


Hi All,

   I've been working on my game over the weekend and everything seemed
to be going ok. I had done everything that I had set out to do.

   With Barry's help I was able to get my screen public.

   I got my proc to draw the maps working right. I had to change my info.
from hex to decimal. I also found my function to raise a number to a
power (Shl()). With this I was able to leave out about 60 IF statements.

   I even got my charater icon drawn. This is where my problem starts.
After I had my little character drawn, I wanted to see if I would be
able to move it like I had planned to. I'm planning to use the keypad
as movement, so that by pressing 8 the character would move towards the
top of the screen. This worked fine the first time I entered an 8, but
when I entered another 8 I got a guru  $8000 0003.

   I don't have any idea as to what is causing the problem. The only
thing that I think it might be is the way that I have opened my screen
and made it public. That part I copyed word for word out of the
pubscreen.e example and then changed it some to make it hires interlaced.

   Maybe some of you who knows more than me can see what I've done wrong
or not done at all. Until I get this problem figured out I can't go any
farther with it.

   Another question that I have is, how do I set the palette for my screen
and how to give it that 2.0'ish look. I want windows and cons to look the
way they did when I was opening them on the workbench screen. I will use
the colors that I have on my workbench, but I need to know how to set
them on my screen.

   I have some more misc. questions but will save them for another post.

   Thanks in advance.
