oh no, it didn't post the stuff i wrote.
oops.
um, i just wanted help making a textbox with a scrollbar. the turing "help" wasn't much help, and the given syntax didn't seem to work.
a code would be very helpful.
thanks

View.Set ("text") will give you a scrollbar, though you won't be able to draw graphics and whatnot. I dunno what support Turing's GUI has for this.

[learning_turing]

um, but i meant like a small text box, in the graphics mode. where the text can go so that it doesn't interrupt the graphics?

look into the gui module, specifically gui.createtextbox.

It's a known glitch with using preview on new posts in Turing Help (this code base is such a mess right now).

Depending on the application, you might also be interested in Font.Draw -- this allows you to "draw" text as a graphic.
