I am writing a full screen editor for a local BBS here.  I have a trivial
question though.  How should I handle the keycodes for backspace, tab, etc. 
Should I write the routines my self or use a compiler function.  I am using
TC++ and I need some help with this. 
 
Also, how should I handle the incoming text.  There is a 16,000 character limit
on each message.  Should I use a series of arrays assigned to each line or just
make one huge array of 16000 characters.
 
Please e-mail to zap@circa.maple.ufl.edu
 
Thanx
Tom Grein
