In the book, 'Turbo Pascal 6: The Complete Reference', chapter 21 goes into Turbo Vision. Has anyone typed this example? Have you gotten it to work? Does anyone have a handle on this? Can anyone handle some questions? Thanks Matthew -- But I still like my ST... HP-48SX CIS 70521,373 SOCEUR (A) Bitnet mjducey@suvm "But Sgt. Airborne, look how high we are"! mjducey@rodan.acs.syr.edu

You have to include all the standard TVision units in the beginning, or it won't know what to do with most of the code (a step conveniently left out of the instructions.... grr.) I've used the insights I got from the example to construct the beginnings of a Turbo Vision BBS (which I call the VisionBBS). It uses the Idle procedure to poll a buffer for incoming characters from the serial port (using my OSIO TPU). You can figure out most of the dialog box manipulation tricks using the Card APP example, but it almost completely ignores fundamental parts of the Turbo Vision interface, like the TWindow object, and the use of the Idle procedure.

Well, I'm just dying here.. This guy says-> dancey@milton.u.washington.edu (Mikel Stromberg) =I've gotten the entire app to work, although it's difficult. You =have to include all the standard TVision units in the beginning, or it =won't know what to do with most of the code (a step conveniently left =out of the instructions.... grr.) Well I'm just going nuts with it. Could you please send me the code you typed up so I can see what I'm doing wrong, and so I can get on with my project. I'd really like to see this thing work so I can get a better understanding of it. I'm getting killed on page 751, I get error 150 on the 'TFlashCard.Load' Also, if I comment all that out, it does not like 'TheFileName' on page 572. HELP. Matthew -- But I still like my ST...
