Most Efficient Large Text Scrolling in QuickWin?

I've read (and understand I think) the archives and current posts that explain why you can run out of memory with a large number of text rows in a QuickWin app. If I still need the ability to scroll back through many many lines (> 500), what is the most efficient way to do it?Some systems running the code are XP, others Win98.I'm using CVF 6.6.B. Should I...
  • Abandon QuickWin for Win32?
  • Use a dialog with a multi-line textbox? (In VB I can put up over 2000 lines this wayon a Win98 PCwith 256Mb)
  • Use a smaller number of lines with QuickWin, and write routines to get text from a file when scrolling past the limits?
  • Force the users to change their screen settings?
  • Are there others?

I'm already duplicating the WRITE's to the QuickWin window to a file. If there were some way to use this file instead ofthe large QuickWin window, that would be prefered.

Also, is the limit cumulative? i.e. If I have 3 QuickWin windows will the total number of lines I can include in my window definition be 1/3 that for 1?

Thanks in advance,
Matt
