QUESTIONS & ANSWERS by Richard Karsmakers
This time, you'll note that there are very few questions nor
answers. This is not only due to the fact that people seem to
know everything they want to know at the moment, but also because
some of the GfA Basic questions have been tranfered to the "GfA
Basic Tips & Tricks" column.
We've got one really tough question. We program quite a lot, but
we still have not found out how we can move the mousepointer on
the screen (without moving the desk or mouse itself). It is sure
that this can be done (it is done in e.g. "N-Vision" and "Music
Studio"). Please help us to find it out!
The "Strike-a-Light" group
I also have one question, that is still left unanswered: What
does VDIBASE stand for? How long is this area of memory? Are
there some interesting POKEs? Which memory location does what?

How do I use "Music Studio" songs in self-written programs?
The "Strike-a-Light" group and
Richard Karsmakers
How do I use smooth scrolling animation or 100% transparent PUT
modi?

I fear you'll have to wait for the next issue of ST NEWS, in
which these problems will both be tackled (at least, so we hope)
in the "GfA Basic Tips & Tricks" column. See you then!
