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:

Color Codes

Color 	Normal 	Underbar 	Reverse Image 	Underbar & Reverse Image 
Nondisplay 	Blink 	Blink& Reverse Image 	Blink& Underbar

Green

	X'20' 	X'24' 	X'21' 	X'25' 	
	
	
	

White

	X'22' 	X'26' 	X'23' 	
	X'27' 	
	
	

Red

	X'28' 	X'2C' 	X'29' 	X'2D' 	X'2F' 	X'2A' 	X'2B' 	X'2E'

Turquoise

	X'30' 	X'34' 	X'31' 	X'35' 	
	
	
	

Pink

	X'38' 	X'3C' 	X'39' 	X'3D' 	
	
	
	

Blue

	X'3A' 	X'3E' 	X'3B' 	
	X'3F' 	
	
	

Yellow

	X'32' 	X'36' 	X'33' 	
	X'37'
