- Subj : Write to Position 80,25.

- Thanks to those of you who have been answering my question about
- writing to the last position on the far right bottom of the screen.
- As you will recall, the trouble I had was that when you write to that
- position (position 80, line 25) using a WRITE (not a writeln) statement
- the cursor wraps to the next line and causes the screen to scroll up one
- line. The most simple soloution to this problem came from BORLAND via
- CompuServe's PASCAL forum. The solution follows:
-
- Step 1. Write out what you actually want to go on line 25 on the
- next to last line (24) instead.
-
- Step 2. Using the InsLine Procedure "shove" what you have on
- line 24 down to line 25. (** you must have Crt listed
- in USES to use this procedure).
-
- Step 3. Go back to line 24 (which is now a blank line) and write
- out what you actually wanted to go on line 24.
-
-
- This worked! I tried it and it did the trick.
