exact same thing
when they came out with turing 3.11 they changed everything over to modules (Draw.Box) but left in the old dos commands (drawbox)

they left it so if a program is written by old turing u can compile it in new turing...

also if ur used to turing 3X, u might like that old commands better and prefer to use them instead. I've seen smost people use the drawbox commands and not the Draw.Box commands.

Thats the thing though if you have a program created in the old turing (DOS) it's not granteed to run in the new TURING or WinOOT. Some of the commands have changed and some are just messed. Columns and row problems happen all the time.
