Re: Trying to position cursor on complicated screen

Part two  Should have mentioned this before.

Your description includes two subfiles, which  do not lend themselves to a 24x80 data structure solution.

My solution has been to meld them in to one 75-char subfile. Make 2 or 3 75-char datastructures (or however many you need for your various rows) and feed them as needed into the single subfile.

If you go that route you will want constants for various field effects:
