'cmov' and 'charstr' work well together -- I assume because they use the same coordinate system. After placing a character string, I use 'getcpos' to record where I left off, but it aparently uses a different coordinate system because I can not make sense out of a subsequent call to 'cmov' using the returned values to reposition the character cursor. Does anyone know what needs to be done to make this scenario work the way I would expect it to? Thanx ...
