- Keith,
-
- If you do go with TEXT fields, and you get it working the
- way you want, I'd like to talk with you about it.
-
- Right now our on-line help consists of little messages
- (less than 255 in length) that are based on the field the cursor
- is in. We(me, actually) are in the process of designing a method
- of putting not only help messages, but the entire system documen-
- tation on line, kinda like the APT-Edit help system.
-
- I want to do all this in APT, as opposed to C calls like
- APT-Edit does.
-
- One of the things I'm looking at is reading in large
- quantities of text . . . first thought is to break it up in
- 255 chunks with sequence numbers . . like I just posted . .
-
- Sooooooo, give me a call . . er . . drop me a line . .
- when you decide what you're doing . . maybe we can swap ideas?
