Screen ghost??

[Nancy Palmquist]

Ivan,

If you have a show at the bottom of the screen, such as:

show("23","1") variable

Where the variable might be longer than 80 characters.  It will scroll 
the screen exactly as you indicate.  Fix would be to do this:
show("23","1") variable{""

to remove any blank space at the end of the variable.

The debugger will often scroll the screen funny so I would not worry 
about that.  Try the command "D" in the debugger to redisplay the screen.

The call from one file works fine, and the exact same call from another file brings up the screen to add information, then if the user hits enter the screen jumps up one line at a time and not from field to field like it should be.

All is normal, then if I hit the enter key to jump to the next line of code the screen moves up a line like when not in debugger mode.  The line of code is just assigning a variable, so there isn't anything that should affect the screen.
