- Ian,

- You cannot use SCROLL with DISPLAY ARRAY, because it does not change the
- array pointer that DISPLAY ARRAY is using. As soon as you hit another key,
- like an arrow key, the screen will go back to the original position that
- DISPLAY ARRAY was using. I have a set of routines that will do what you
- are trying to do, that use Dave Snider's fgl_getkey stuff. I do not use
- DISPLAY ARRAY, so you have complete control over the array positioning.
- I have such things as a GOTO record function, and a FIND bad record
- function. Let me know if you want a copy.
