JG Just tested VDU 23,16 which does what it says but not what I want. What I wanted to do was to effectively rotate the text through 90 degrees so that I could insert in to vertical tabs. I could do this with screen capture, do the rotation and reprint the dots, but it would be long winded and slow. Help

It's always possible, but not necessarily how you first thought. Chin up and try again.

i think you try to figure a way to tilt the screen output, a way that its at its side all the time?

Search in the Help file that comes with BB4W. Select the "Search" tab and type in "angle" as the keyword. One of the options is "Drawing angled text". It will do what you want.
The only thing to be aware of is that the size of the text is predetermined with the height% variable and altering the font size (*FONT) will not change the size of the angled text.
