Dont Thread The BOX!

[StatusQuo]

Yes, I found that out too by running the code through a debugger so I make a number bigger... but you should handle that in code to catch a small number.

Yet CURPOS isnt supposed to push anything. The only purpose I have done in CURPOS is to just locate the cursor within the box.

I meant to type FORMAT..  I was looking at the CURPOS proc on the other monitor when I was typing the reply

Still though, FORMAT's purpose is to put the window title there. Apperently I am still doing it wrong compared to my previous endavour. I got the box to work in an earlier example. with the color, and border. Yet now I feel as if i am forced to go back to the drawing board.

Okay I fixed it far enough that a box does appear for it. If it doesnt work for any of you, please let me know so that perhaps I can convince myself that my eyes arent playing tricks on me.
