Hi again Don,
OH yeah, maybe it's because when you reach the end of the dir
one thing increments and the other doesnt (index vs count).
I meant to say it's nice to have the picture info printed out too
like you have now, but i was wondering maybe we could have a
separate window with that info printed to it...that could be kept
'on top' or allowed to hide behind the main window? This would
give users the choice to either see the info all the time or
see it only when they want too (a keystroke or something).
What do you think?
Take care,
Al
And, good luck with your Euphoria programming!
