Text area with certain height and width (without GUI?)

Post subject:  Text area with certain height and width (without GUI?)
What is it you are trying to achieve?
I want to create a text area at a specific location with specific dimensions. If the text goes beyond the amount of space given, it will simply scroll down. I'm planning to put a set of questions inside, so there will be some coding (I don't want the text to show up, I want what I actually coded)


What is the problem you are having?
Is it possible to do this without GUI?


Describe what you have tried to solve this problem
I've tried GUI, but it will only show the text, not the actual program I've written. If it happens that GUI can execute the program, it would be helpful to know how!

there's no code.

I think what you're looking for is the font module. Look it up. Basically you call a variable to a new font and use that in Font.Draw

Ermm, I don't think I need Font.Draw. I want to make a textbox where I can put my program inside (Not the actual text, I want what the program is supposed to do)

a window in text mode? View.Set
code:

View.Set ("text")
for value : 1 .. 200
   put value : 3, "   ", sqrt (value)
end for


If you want to stay in graphics mode, then you can use locate to move your puts around.
