Hey there,
some guy requested a "locate" command to position the cursor within the textwindow.
I want to support that and to add a few other things. I think we both have the same idea of making the text window more useful and be able to play around with it (like on the C64 in the old days).
- a "locate" command to set the cursor to postition
- commands for cursor up, down, left and right
- a "home" command to bring the cursor back to top left without clearing the window.
- a command to define the window to a certain width and hight (like the grafic window).
- may be a possibility to edit the character-set.
- commands to set the backgroundcolor of then window, etc.
i think there are lots of more possibilitys in this area.
p.s. I loved to do programming on the C64 and never done it since. Thank you very much for bringing me back to it!
