Take a look at the latest executable in the fractint directory. It doesn't quite handle viewwindows and virtual screens like I would like, but it's real close.
1. This time I got virtual screens to work. I could move the physical windows's view in the virtual screen with the cursor keys or mouse. 2. When the video mode wasn't virtual, the <v> command showed the old menu. Good. 3. I could save a virtual screen. When I loaded it back, the virtual mode was loaded. I saw a few problems, though. 1. Dumb question. The controls usually used to make a zoom box now move the virtual screen. How does one make a zoom box? A new command mode is entered, this is going to be tricky to keep from being confusing. Maybe hold down the alt key and move around the zoom box, else be in the normal mode. 2. Usually the text screen was OK, but when I moved around the virtual screen, and went back and forth to text, eventually I could get a garbled text screen. I need to work on figuring out the exact sequence that reproduces this. meanwhile, we need to check if the fix you made is needed in other contexts. 3. Save a virtual screen and load it back. Press <del>. The video mode screen doesn't point to the right video mode. It appears that the right mode is loaded, it's just that the position in the video mode screen is wrong. Tim
