I'm still going through the process of converting my TML Pascal program to
ORCA.. A few problems have come up, and I was wondering if anyone can help me
out with them... Thanks in advance, 
                                      Roby

*> TML's Writeln checked to see where you were on the screen so if the next
line of text that was going to be drawn was off of the screen, it would scroll
the window up a bit and write the text at the bottom of that screen/window..
(Similar to what happens in a text enviroment) ORCA does not do this.. How can
I write a similar routine to do basically the same thing??

*> TML's Readln displayed a "Mickey Mousish" cursor on the screen, ORCA does
not.. How can I write my own input routine that flashes a cursor??

Note : these two examples are applying to text handling in Super-Hires Mode..
