Quickwin "Console Window"

Hi,
I have been involved in porting several FORTRAN programs from a VAX environment over the last few years. Many of these programs involved interrogating a user with WRITE(6, and READ(5, commands and included graphical plots of curves as results. One of our programmers wrote a library (.lib) of quickwin routines to do the plotting output, so we have to write our projects as quickwin projects. We've noticed a defficiency in the dialog window that seems to be created at run time. It doesn't seem to scroll to follow the cursor location, if the amount of output write(6 lines is larger than the original lines displayed. Is this a bug, or can we do something to assure that the window scrolls to follow the cursor. This is important because usually the write(6 records are prompts followed by read(5 records.
Also, when the program calls exit, the application comes up with a yes/no dialog box "Program terminated with exit code 0, Exit window?" the default is always "No". Can we make the default "Yes"? Our users have generally seen all they want to see at this point, and mousing to the Yes button is not as convenient as just hitting return.
Thanks very much,
Jack M. O'Leary

See the help on SETEXITQQ for your last question.

I think we're adding an option to "auto-scroll" in a future release, but you can write code to do this now. If you're interested, write vf-support@compaq.com
