If I need the internal procedure array to be static, would I still get better performance by passing the array in as param? See below:
The memory of a (by-reference) parameter isn't allocated by the subprocedure that receives the parms. So, declaring it static wouldn't make sense.
Also, you can eliminate the need for pointer logic by making myScreen a data structure, and making prScreenAry a subfield of that data structure.
Also, I don't think VT100 screens are fixed at 80 x 24. I think you can change the number of rows and columns at will. I suppose the original VT100 dumb terminals probably had fixed columns & rows, but nowadays, people who use VT100 emulation are almost always using a PC program of some sort, and they can all change the number of columns and rows by dragging the window edge. (Just something to think about.)
