try using the CLEAR command in amigabasic. It's in the AmigaBASIC
manual.

| CLEAR is correct. I haven't programmed in AmigaBASIC other than to
create the obligatory check book program, so I haven't found a way to
make BASIC come up with a larger workspace. (Should be a feature.) So,
in the case of my check program, which uses large chunks of memory, I
first run a short little program which uses CLEAR to change the
workspace size and then loads and runs the actual check book program.

| 1. I'd like to write a graphics program in BASIC to draw a wireframe model of an
object using X-Y-Z points and vectors stored in a file. I want to be able to
rotate the object and move it in and out from the viewer using the mouse as an
input tool. Is there a way of sensing when the right mouse button is being
pressed? The MOUSE(0) function will return the status of the left button and the
MENU(0) (I think) should return the right button status but instead, it
activates the menu bar. There must be some way of disabling that feature.
2. In the manual for the Star NX-1000 color printer there is a program written
in Microsoft BASIC for the IBM-PC for generating and editing NLQ fonts for that
printer. Before going to the trouble of entering it, I'd like to know if it will
work on my Amiga. Any ideas?
3. Not a BASIC question, but speaking of fonts. Where can I get new or
additional Amiga fonts to be used with ProWrite? Is there a font editor that I
can use to design my own? Also, which fonts can I delete from my workbench disk
to free up some space?

There are literally hundreds and hundreds of fonts available for
downloading from PLINK. Most of the better Macintosh fonts have
been converted.
There are also about a dozen or so commercial disks full of fonts.

| Have you seen "Amiga Tricks and Tips", a Data Becker book that
includes a lot of (to me) high powered stuff on driving the AMy
with Basic ?
