Nothing wrong with "TO". LIT means "literally", I usually use TO for
numbers and LIT for everything else. Using LIT with strings containing
spaces is a little clearer than using TO. The help for EQUATE states
"TO" is for equating to an expression, whereas "LIT" is for equating to
a string.

Two things:
1. What does LIT mean?
2. How popular is having this double equate situation. What's wrong with
EQUATE ERASE TO @(-1)
I have a small pet peeve with equates like this. If not in an include it
causes the programs to become very hard to read as you're listing hundreds
of lines before you
Are you guys aware of the universe supplied include:
ATFUNCTIONS.INS.IBAS (or ATFUNCTIONS.H) which resides in .../uv/INCLUDE
Here's an extract:
EQUATE IT$CSTO -1 ;* clear screen (ANSI)
EQUATE IT$CAH TO -2 ;* cursor absolute home (ANSI)
EQUATE IT$CLEOS TO -3 ;* cle
I hope you put assignments like this in an Include. Having them loose in
each program lends itself to them being mislabeled or other problems.

If that is how SLEEP works then

By the behaviour you describe:
Sleep until a time would appear to operate as a SLEEP for the interval
between *now* and the specified time. This would be set at the moment that
the SLEEP is issued. E.g.
At 01:00 issue a sleep 03:00 - this becomes a "sleep two hours"

That _should_ not matter. The @-function picks the relevant code from the

Bob,
Have you looked at !GET.KEY?
Also for more functioality look at !PACK.FNKEYS and !EDIT.INPUT, not quite as
good as they were in PI/Open but they work.

@(-4) typically clears from the current cursor position to the end of
the line, leaving the cursor position unchanged. So technically..
CRT @(2,15): @(-4):
Is effectively the same as
CRT @(2,15): @(-4): @(2,15):
Does this answer your question?

Hi
@(-4) means 'clear the screen to end of line'.
It does not reposition the cursor.
So for example in the line below it should clear any previous text from the
last entry - typically when proving a prompt.
Similarly, @(-3) clears to end of screen.
These, of course, assume that the terminal co
We define variables for the various @ statements
**Screen clearing options
CS = @(-1) ;**Clear Screen
EOS = @(-3) ;**Clear to End Of Screen
EOL = @(-4) ;**Clear to End Of Line

The problem is that page up, along with many other keys, sends a terminal

Wouldn't it be nice if UV provided a standard routine
Hi Sanjeeb,
CRT @(2,15):@(-4):@(2,15):
Three elements:
@(2,15) positions to column 2 of line 15.
@(-4) clears the current line from the cursor position onwards.
@(2,15) positions the cursor again but is not needed as @(-4) doesn't move
it.
@(23,45)
Really? This is column 23 of line 45

CRT = print to the screen
@(2,15) = move the cursor to column 2, row 15

@(-4) = Erase any characters found to the end of the line

The program is positioning the cursor at (2,15)... clearing the line... and
then re-positioning the cursor back at (2,15).

Assuming your terminal type is set up correctly:
$INCLUDE UNIVERSE.INCLUDE TERMINFO
GoSub GetKey
If (KEY.PREVIOUS.PAGE <> "") And (KEY.PREVIOUS.PAGE = MyKey) Then
...
* get a raw keyboard entry
* you can make this more clever e.g. look for lead in sequences etc.
GetKey:
MyKey = KeyIn
Hi
CRT @(2,15):@(-4):@(2,15):
Basically when we use @(-4) ,it should go to the end of line...but when I
tried the above statement I could not understand what it exactly did...I
also tried by giving different x and y coordinate values ..ie CRT
@(23,45):@(-4):@(23,45)..but the result seemed similar.
