I've seen one or two programs boot up with GDOS in the AUTO folder, but I haven't seen it anywhere in my books. Is it some type of extension to the graphics routines or the GEMDOS? I'm sure somebody out there knows what it is... :-) Also, how can I set up the screen to leave certain lines stable while the others scroll "under" it? (Like Flash's bottom status line, or Forem ST's status lines at the top of the screen...) Do I have to keep track of where the cursor is at all times and manually write my own routines to fake this, or can you just tell TOS that the screen has a different size?
