Well folks, my last example of how to gat an oversized screen WILL NOT WORK WITH OS2.0 if a scrolling WB is used. I've written a new version that does work. I'll post it over the next few days. All this demo will do is open a screen the size as the WB is the WB is overscanned. (well, that's not all... What I mean is it doesn't write in the blanking margins like DPaint (which won't work with OS2.0 either) Regards Alan ps. sorry to all those people who get distressed at OS2.0 in stead of AOS2.0
