Re: RPG virus?!

Some decade or 2 ago I used those control characters to control scrolling. There was a code you could insert
that would move a set of lines up or down and then write the new line in it's place.
If you took that code out, it would be very noticeable. Or, broken.

Yep, that is an attempt to get the syntax-related coloring that is a
part of WDSC/RDi/RDp that is quite helpful. Another good reason to move
to the graphical editing environment. And the attempt to do this in SEU
doesn't usually highlight opcodes as does the WRR environment (that's my
new acronym for not being able to use just one name!).

Removing them is probably really annoying to the SEU developer, as they are the codes for highlight and colour-changes that make the comments in the green-on-black SEU environment more readable.

It won't hurt, just ugly. We have the same deal going on. I just
search-and-replace the bugs with a single blank to get them out of my face.

BTW, the green-screen display attributes (x20 - x3F) are placed in unused
positions in the spec (usually column 6 for comments as the spec type for
comments is ignored by the compiler, or column 5 for active specs).

A greenscreener is colouring his lines for SEU. I don't recall exactly how
it's done, some kind of hex code that doesn't show up on the screen? Anyway,
with WDSCi V6.1, I see a little box-shaped bug where this character must
be. It's like a little worm, eating its way into more and more code as that
developer progresses. As I am sure that RDPi or whatever it's now called
<will> eventually prevail over SEU, could this little thing be a problem one
day if left to go on like this? Like when we only have RDP and no SEU?
