There are several reasons why I don't want to use the console. One of which is performance. I would rather work directly with IDCMP messages than to shoot serial data streams to the console input. I would prefer to code it myself like you mentioned, It's just that VERY LITTLE dosumentation exists that explain a simple way to deal with clipping rectangles. Actually, what I'm trying to do is to smooth scroll text in a smaller section of an ordinary Intuition window. The smaller area (smooth scrolling part) is surrounded by gadgets, so a strict clipping rectangle is in order. I'm trying to use the Layers in SuperBitmap mode because I have access to the scrolling routines which are VERY FAST. Remember, I'm after PERFORMANCE!! (sigh) the search goes on…… Crunch
