I think that you will find that you will find that, that is where the reason why you have no problem is situated. Of course there is an alternative solution to this problem. As you are using QC 2.5, there is the facility to use the inline assembler for the shift left (__aFlshl) and if the multiplication is of integers, the __aFlmul instruction as well. Hope this helps to clear this up.

Howdy Robert, It depends on whether you are sending them to the local screen or how they appear on the receiving end. Are you set up so you can watch both ends at the same time? For handling ANSI displays I much prefer working with the BNU or X00 fossil drivers. Among other things there's an interrupt for sending the ANSI codes to the local console and have them display properly.

Howdy Jeff, You can try: SHELL "DIR > &SCRAP.TMP" Then OPEN the &SCRAP.TMP file, find the "Directory of" line, and save the current directory in a variable like PgmDir$. KILL &SCRAP.TMP when done. To make sure you are back where you started: CHDIR PgmDir$ For extensive directory and file manipulation without needing shells you'll want to buy QuickBasic PDS 7.1.

But, their artwork is lost when the screen is cleared, which has made some of them kinda mad at me even though I clearly pointed that out in the docs. Is PCOPY possible in screen 13? I need a way to save the image and restore it, letting them continue where they left off after viewing the help screen.
