This article was previously published under Q33623 SUMMARY
This information applies to Microsoft QuickBASIC Version 1.00, BASIC
Compiler Version 1.00, and BASIC Interpreter Versions 2.00, 2.10, and
3.00 for the Apple Macintosh.
The PRINT and PRINT USING statements automatically scroll the contents
of the output window upwards to make room for text that is printed at
the very bottom of the output window. If the bottom of the output
window is moved slightly off screen or covered partially by any window
(such as the LIST window), the text scrolled upwards can be truncated
or blank because BASIC only scrolls the pixels that were initially
visible when they were printed.
The following program is an example (move the output window downward
one-half of a line or more so that the bottom is obscured by the
Macintosh screen border):
FOR J=1 TO 400
PRINT "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
