Well, I suppose thats a bad subject line, but ...... What I want to do is set up a psuedo-window for my players on vt terms - I've looked thru SillyMUD code and saw the InitScreen function which sets up 4 or 5 lines at the bottom of the screen for the status display, but my question is where can I put an if check in to see if we've reached the last possible line that output can be sent to? I was thinking about process_outputt, but that doesn't look right - perhaps write_to_descriptor? (I dont think these are the exact func names). Ex: (in the proper function) if cursor position == limit send text to same line, and make it scroll up w/o breaking into the status display. Also, if I write to the last line, will the display scroll up like normal w/o eating into the display box at the bottom? My idea if prolly totally wrong, but please could someone point me in the right direction? I'm tired of the prompt system - I want something more ;) If I ever get it working I'll post the source code to the list for everyone's enjoyment. - Sean Glas @ The Dominion
