very possible... but my question for you is why re-invent the wheel (notepad) when you can fly (ms word)? is it the thrill of the challenge?

I don't know..
It's just fun re-inventing stuff!
especially when you make them by yourself!

It's quite easy to get a little input box thing working, but I imagine writing a word processor or something would be a pain.

I'm gonna be writing an IDE for a script system in DBPro, thinking about multiple windows etc, should be a challenge.

I made a simple one-line editor for my in-game console... i guess if you needed multiple lines you'd make a string array. you start at index 0 and when you exceed then line limit of press return you jump to index 1 etc.

we were asked to learn modula-2 in uni for some labs, as practise i wrote a simple 3 line editor, but unlike dark basic i had to use a char array rather than a string array (no primary string data type in modula-2) and to me, it was kinda easier.

here's one.
it should work but there might be bugs as i don't have access to a compiler at the moment.
i will put more tonight that will convert it to a text doc and save it.
