- Dear Whoever,
- I'm having a problem tring to make a chat program on a MUSIC
- system that we have here at Marist. Here's the problem. I want the
- REXX program to read the last 21 lines of a file called chatfill1.
- However, since this is being done in a MUSIC environment, I can't use
- EXECIO, but I have to use MUSIO. From what I know, they are almost
- exactly the same. As far as reading, writeing, and appending. After
- the program pulls the last 21 lines out of the file, it will display
- them in a panel. And every line that someone inputs to the screen will
- be writtin to the last line of chatfill1. And so it's just one big
- loop untill you '/quit' out of it. Anyway,.. if anyone knows what I'm
- talking about PLEASE tell me. If you want to see the code, which isn't
- documentated yet, I can post it to here. However the panels you'll have
- to make up yourself (sorry). Well,.. that's about it. Thanks

- E-mail here or to the newsgroup thanks. If you want the code then
- E-mail me,.. Thanks
