It was on the night of 29-Jan-98, when no creatures were stirring, and all was
silent. Suddenly, geosync@mail.ozemail.com.au jumped out from behind a rock
and wouldnt stop shouting about "Strings and Things" until I was forced to
knock them out:
�-> Hello all,
�-> As I`m developing a program sometimes I want to go to the Direct mode
�-> and check the contents of strings. But lately I`ve been getting strange
�-> results.
�-> If I want to look at the contents of F$(x) and I look at say F$(1) it
�-> displays the correct string but if I try F$(12) or something higher I
�-> get the actual AMOS code being printed on the screen with control chars
�-> doing strange things like wiping text and redrawing etc.
Ive had this problem a lot. I found a couple of ways to prevent it was to give
it a rather high SET BUFFER command at the top (to give you more variable
space than actualy needed) plus I checked my code and removed anything that
would poke and peek around any variables with VARPTR. After some messing, it
just disappeared as fast as it came, hehe. I also used to get it with
particulay large strings.
