Hi, I am writing an application that writes a lot of text to a window. I would like to have the user be able to resize the window and still have the program "intelligently" output text. By this I mean not truncate words at the right edge of the window. I don't need help with the algorithm for formatting the text to be output, but on how to figure out the current width of the window in characters. From looking at the RKM it seems that this can be done by opening a custom window and using the console.device. But is this the simplest way? Can I use a CON: window and somehow determine all the relevant information? Your input is most appreciated. Brian (I'm not a lazy programmer, just an inexperienced one! :^) )
