What's this about window and scrolling commands? There is lots of cool stuff going on, but it doesn't look like stuff that's easy to do in BASIC 2.0. Does it use something like Simons' BASIC?

[kmoser]

From what I remember this was written entrely in standard BASIC, using PRINT and POKE statements. It's possible it used a few ML routines to do some of the scrolling, but I doubt it. In any case I'm sure it wasn't anything like Simon's BASIC.

Is the source code for this available somewhere?

@Tork110 Yeah Here: 1 print chr$(147); 2 for n=0 to 24 3 print "Your text goes here"; 4 if n<24 then print 5 next n 6 for n=7 to 0 step -1 7 poke 53265,(peek(53265) and 240) or n 8 next n 9 goto 6
