- Well, I can't think of a goos way to do this, you could try setting the
- number of characters kept in memory (in the Run Options... I think) and then
- closing and opening the window, or just hiding it and showing it, or just
- reshowing, reopening it, whatever, I really don't know, it's just an idea.

- Yeah, when you open a file, you just do:
- open(infile,"diskname:folder:folder:filename");
-
- That should be what you're looking for...

- Hope this all helps..
