I had not heard pf Pythonista before. I'll check it out. I suspect it's more than I care to fight with as well. If current forum membership at 477 members is any indication of sales, even if that number were doubled, taking in account that Apple takes 30% off the top, and minus the $99 developers li...

I assume you're referring to TEXT_HEIGHT() and TEXT_WIDTH(). I had forgotten about them, but looked them up again when you mentioned it. That sounds like the way to go. Thanks again! I agree with you regarding the curious perspective with Mr. K's marketing and sales approach (or lack thereof). I'm n...

I originally imagined something like this. GRAPHICS FIELD 1 TEXT "Hi, backatcha!" AT 100,100 SIZE 150,32 FIELD 1 BACK COLOR 0,0,0 FIELD 1 FONT COLOR 1,0,0 FIELD 1 FONT SIZE 20 DO FIELD 1 SHOW!PAUSE .3 FIELD 1 HIDE!PAUSE .3 UNTIL 0 Now I just need to figure out how to effectively (and hopefully, easi...

That is a lot simpler! Considering the detailed font, color and placement control options with the graphics mode, perhaps it makes more sense anyway to do this graphically. If you can also incorporate interface functions like switches and sliders and such, then why not just treat text like a graphic...

I agree with George completely. I would happily pay for a major update. In fact, I would pay for incremental updates if each was just a tad bit better and more capable (at a lower price point of course). Several versions of BASIC I have used offer a free version with limitations and a more advanced ...

Wow! That worked a treat. Thanks! I had hoped it would not require such extensive coding for something that was so unbelievably simple 34 years ago. I appreciate you taking the time to work it out. I tested it and it worked perfectly (of course). Now I just need to read through it carefully to see w...

You're absolutely right about the responsiveness of support. I can count on two fingers the number of times I've experienced such rapid and thorough support from any vendor, much less an independent programmer. I have been pushing for more only because smart BASIC is so well conceived and implemente...

Your wiki idea sounds awesome. Especially since Rosetta could evaporate without notice. I look forward to seeing what you have in your Programmer's Guide also. If there's anything I can help with, please let me know. I live to edit and proofread. I'm also fairly good at finding things and researching.

Ah, that's good to know. Thanks Henko. I was under the impression that the graphics and text modes were exclusive, but I never tested it. So, graphics mode is for pixel oriented drawing then, but both can handle the rest of it?

Actually, I was originally trying to do it with just sB code and regular text. There's a Rosetta task that asks the use to display a sentence and then highlight each word as it is spoken - kind of like Karaoke sub titles. I just think it's odd that I can't easily print "This word is highlighted" whe...
