For instance CALL MOVETO(6,9):print "aaaaaaaa":CALL MOVETO(6,9):PRINT "bb". Note that there are several blank spaces now after the "b"s. Anyone know of a way around this? -Barry Eynon -------

I used the distructive nature of backspace to ensure that the space is blank. I have used this technique to produce a blinking cursor. Regards, Donald A Kassebaum -------
