I am working on a program that diplays characters to the screen at a very rapid pace. For lack of knowing a better way to write quickly to the screen, I deactiavted the text, and SetSelect-ed and TEPaste-d everything instead of calling TEUpdate every time the screen had to be changed. The only bad thing about this is that there is a very annoying screen flicker that occurs periodically as the screen changes. I guess that it doesn't refresh during the vertical retrace as it should, but A) I am not very familiar w/the VerticalRetrace functions, and B) I hope deep in my mind that there is a better way to achieve my goal. Could someone please clue me in to a better toolbox call or post (or E-mail) some good code as an example of the Vertical Retrace functions. Thanks.
