He tried to use SetFunction() on the Text() routine but has had no luck... That's strange, for Text() is indeed the low-level text routine that the console device goes through. When I was testing WarpText 2.0, (some 30,000 cps text routines I wrote, posted to comp.sources and comp.binaries.amiga) I just jammed the pointer to my routine (interactively with Forth) into Text()'s vector. All of the text on the machine was now using WarpText 2.0. Perhaps you were calling SetFunction the wrong way...? I have never used it, because I never made a program that needed it. Much easier to hack things in from the keyboard... I do know, however, that if you are successful in pointing the vector for Text() at your own text routine, the console device will now be using your routine to render its text.
