- Hello. I would like to present ASCII text in an Athena asciiText
- widget and have one thing happen-- I would like the cusor to ALWAYS be
- on the screen (ie: in the widget). The ASCII text being presented is
- something where I DO NOT want any wrapping at the right. It may not
- be possible to see the entire ASCII text-- for example, I may want to
- display an ascii grid that is 200x200 CHARACTERS with a 20x20 "window"
- into this grid.

- There is my asciitext looking into the larger map... now, I want to
- say "locate 100,100" and have the asciitext MOVE like this

- The problem is... if I move either or both the cursor and the insert
- pointer, the DISPLAY WINDOW doesn't move.
-
-
- Does anyone know how to make the cursor always be in the display area
- (The documentation lies and says that it will always be in the display
- area.) I really would appreciate any help.
