- Hi,
-
- Can anyone suggest ways to display screenfuls of information to users,
- without using a million and one writeln statements? The problem is each
- screen won't be related in content to any other screen, so I can't just
- read in one big text file and then scroll through it. It will be more
- like fifty screens, each one containing discrete information. Also the
- screens will not always be accessed in the same order (the user will decide
- which screen to display next).
-
- On the plus side, since each screen is discrete, I don't need any scroll
- back features or anything filling the buffer (or at least I don't think I
- do).
-
- Anything will be of help,
- thanks in advance,
-
- Tony
