Foxit - in progress

[GDMike]

That's better, ok. I got it and updating my notes.

Thank you.

Very much cleaner. I mean, I don't mind cleaning up, but this takes advantage of the windows Clipboard like you said. I've really accomplished a bit this weekend. Thx to everyone for your help.

[GDMike]

Nice, I'm able to import my, (40 cols)+ multiple screens of Forth code into SNP now from classic 99 clip. 

I should never have a reason for losing code or notes ever again!.. ? Right..

 

 

[GDMike]

Interesting, then I can tag the page with color as,

In this case, RED on Black for pages with code...

White on blue for general notes. As SNP allows for each page to have it's own personal colors for any of the 800 pages, or can be set to 1 global color at any time.

Is that user Docs or programmer Docs or both?

Actually I was only doing code docs for my Forth stuff, but I've forgotten how to copy pages in SNP... it's not in help because it's an F5 call and none of those, like call color, call goto etc.. are  listed  so you have to rely on memory.

Hahaha, but ctrl 2 and ctrl 3 does copy a page but doesn't copy a range. 

Yes, plus documenting each "WORD" refreshes my thinking on what is going on and what I need to do in case I miss something.

Looks like SNP needs an upgrade to 80 columns... I didn't have an F18A during it's build.. back in (201?) Something.

[GDMike]

One command down.(call clear). For my command window...

[GDMike]

I'm also updating SNP to 80 columns.

You are using PANEL , WRAP , and SCROLL for the window, right? In case you are not, those words are in the resident dictionary of both TurboForth and fbForth 2.0, so they don’t cost you anywhere near as much memory as coding those functions yourself.

Indeed.

• Panel is here: http://turboforth.net/lang_ref/view_word.asp?ID=222
• Wrap: http://turboforth.net/lang_ref/view_word.asp?ID=192
• Scroll: http://turboforth.net/lang_ref/view_word.asp?ID=224

Here's a little demo:

: test ( -- )
  0 gmode words ( just put some crap on the screen)
  10 5 15 15 panel
  true wrap ! ( lets use scroll with wrap )
  100 0 do 0 scroll loop
  100 0 do 2 scroll loop
  100 0 do 4 scroll loop
  100 0 do 6 scroll loop ;

Actually I was just placing a keyed character and limiting to the size of window. Hmm..

not sure if I need scrolling for this..I mean it looks cool, and satisfies large text. But I'm still not sure I'll need it. I'll have to keep it in mind though as I move forward. I'm glad you reminded me of this, I did see that in the manual but I did forget it. I'll try to keep this in the thought.

When you get to the last line of the window, I would think you would want to scroll up one line before continuing. But, perhaps, everything you are doing fits in the window until it needs clearing?

Exactly, the commands are short and limited. A typical setup would invoke a modify statement, which takes a user to Fullscreen mode, or using a word for editing, again back to full screen, and or a load or save which would be a 1 word command... Other commands are display structure, but this would display data to the main screen and not in the command window.

Basically, the command window doesn't have to exist, but keeping up with what FoxPro was doing, this is how they interfaced.

My book never showed up. At least I got a refund, after  almost a year DISCOVER FORTH

It certainly can.  I have been lucky over the years and got what I ordered.

 

Not sure if you use Amazon but this book is based on the courses taught at Forth Inc.

Thanks..I'll enjoy it.

@GDMike, not sure there is any reason to be concerned, but mentioning PDF reminded me of Foxit Software (foxit.com).

Yes, everyone wants the Foxit name. From the FoxPro camera company to a PDF developer. Lol  I'm needing a graphic of my fox with TI mixed in it..
