Re: A83: Linus?
Well, actually Linus, for EVERY line in there, it will continue onto the next
line if it exceeds 16 characters or greater... =P Could you make it so it
will just Keep Going on that assigned line, and cut it off at 16, instead of
calling newline? Do you put the "call _newline" or a carriage return in there
yourself, or is that done automatically by the 83? There should be a flag for
that then, right? =P Well, about that proposal of the process I had, I think
you may be already doing that... I noticed that it kept scrolling the screen
up whenever it needed to, to place the Menu Items, but then the Menu Titles
were still printed to the screen at the top... I would like it better though
if you could make it so, that it will not move any extra text stuff to the
line below. Its just logical to keep one menu item on one line, but My
predicament is that I want it to fit perfectly one the line and touch the
right of the screen (because that's how long my word is) but then it puts a
blank line... :\ Yes, look into that please, and put out another version, if
you could... =)
