SYMPTOMS
The CSRLIN function can return the wrong value when the TEXTSIZE is
set to other than TEXTSIZE 12, which is the default.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug with Macintosh QuickBasic
Version 1.00, Macintosh Basic Interpreter Version 3.00 (buglist3.00),
and Macintosh Basic Compiler Version 1.00 (buglist1.00). We are
researching this problem and will post new information as it becomes
available.
When you use a TEXTSIZE other than 12, CSRLIN returns a value of (1 +
actual line number) after printing the first print statement. You can
work around this behavior by using the LOCATE statement to locate the
first PRINT statement.
In the following code example, "Hello" and "world" should be printed
on the same line, but they are not. The value for CSRLIN should be 1,
but actually is 2:
Code Example
CALL TEXTSIZE(9) ' TEXTSIZE (12) works correctly--default
' LOCATE 1,1 ' Add this line to eliminate problem.
PRINT "Hello";
oldCSRLIN%=CSRLIN
LOCATE CSRLIN, POS(0) ' should locate at current cursor position
PRINT "world"
PRINT "CSRLIN was ";oldCSRLIN% ' should be 1 -- actually 2
