Making a comments/instructions box in DOS

[Robert E. Carneal]

I would like to make a place for users to enter directions in
DOS, or Windowed DOS.

In other words, if a user wants to type almost a half page worth
of instructions, it is not going to fit the space I give it.
Is there a pre-made routine to accomplish this that I can see?

I hope to allow the user to enter up to 920 characters max,
and if there is already an easy way to do it- it would be great!

Thank you.

There used to be a number of mini-text editor libraries around... I'll see if I can find some references for you... stay tuned.

Ok, there appear to be two libraries that can assist with "data entry" and others that deal with "keyboard input" at http://www.powerbasic.com/files/pub/pbdos/library/
