The output window will be a small part of the original screen and I would like the process's output to only scroll within the output window. In an attempt to learn how to do this, I have found that using mvwaddstr() will not cause scrolling if you move text beyond the limits(x-axis) of the defined window. If I just keep using addstr(), the text will go beyond the x and y limits of the window and logical scrolling will occur. Is there a proper way to do all of this? I am using the Nutshell Curses book as a reference but as usual there are too few examples and only short explanations. Are there any more fuller discussons or examples of how to use curses in this manner out there? -- Alan Beal DLSC-ZBC Autovon 932-4160 Defense Logistics Services Center Commercial (616)961-4160 Battle Creek, MI 49015 FTS 552-4160 UUCP: {uunet!gould,cbosgd!osu-cis}!dsacg1!dlscg2!abeal
