a lot of old @ say code works quite well if you simply open a window, set the font to something NOT proportional, and write a print buffer system!

why re-invent the wheel? text data entry is faster than mouse forms anyway you look at it!

and much simpler to code when you want to test each field before doing the next!

I've used @ say on forms, too! far more efficient when you have ot pack in the text!
