- I am trying to write a scrolling list in a window, using evnt_multi()
- return in the message pipe WM_ARROWED to switch to my function. My
- function blits n-1 lines and then calls v_gtext() to draw the new line.
- However, the loop is not initiated until the mouse button is released,
- ignoring (?) the call to graf_mkstate() which I am using to break the
- loop, by testing the mouse state.
-
- This is being run on tos 1.0. I am just getting acquainted with gem,
- so any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Also, it seems that
- it would be more efficent and useful if the strings I am displaying
- were placed in a bunch of objects.
-
- Thanks in Advance.
