1) Is there any way to code an "asynchronous" sub/function to be
run in a PB/DOS program? The procedure could be either in the EXE
main source code, or if necessary, contained in an OBJ module.
If it is not natively possible (which I am sure is the case), would
ON TIMER be a suitable alternative? The whole purpose of the
procedure would be to monitor an SHARED/PUBLIC/EXTERNAL integer
to see if it is set to above zero by any of the OBJ modules'
procedures included in my code. If the procedure detects that it is
indeed set to above zero, then it would do an ERROR FlagError.
In this case, would it be necassry to reset the ON TIMER since the EXE
would immediately exit following the display of the error message?
2) this one is a suggestion to the R&D team at PB, Inc. It would appear
that print statements (PRINT, STDOUT) in one active page affect
the cursor position in other pages. Surely it would be possible to
have each page retain its own cursor position data?
Other questions will probably follow.
Thank you for any assistance.
