Re: Immediate scrolling text in a dialog box

First, is the the right way to reply?

Ok- thank you all for your help, though I must admit that being very
new to Forth, it's a bit tough to work through the code... That and I
haven't really had as much time as I'd have liked for working on this
project.

As for a solution- I haven't found one yet. I tried to work something
out with the listbox, but the LBS_MULTILINE etc did not exist, so
that's a no-go.

I'm still looking for a solution, though, and I am leaning more
towards just this, perhaps it is simpler:

All I need to be able to do is load a text file into a window so that
new (preferrablly) the bottom of the text it showing. The top would be
fine too, I would just prefer the bottom. The point is, I have been
given code that writes to an ASCII buffer and then to a file (or vice
versa), quickly and easily enough. Thus, I can simply output the
strings I want to the buffer, save the buffer in a file, read the file
back into the buffer, paste the text of the file in the window, and
add the next data to the end of the buffer. The only part that I am
missing here is the "paste the text of the file in the window."

The answer may well be in what you have already sent me, I just wanted
to let you know I am still working on it, I just haven't had much
time, and I wanted to give a more specific problem to be solved.

Thank you all,
Tony
