I just bought a copy of OpenQM to test some of my applications.  My first program to test is a main menu.  In this MVBASIC program I draw a character outline around the border of the screen, the fill in the menu options.  The program then calls a suproutine called XPRMT.  I use the XPRMT subroutine for all keyboard input in all programs, it is the only INPUT statement in my systems.  One of the parameters that I pass to XPRMT is PSTR which is the prompt string which XPRMT prints at @(0,24), the bottom of the screen.  In UniVerse this routine works perfectly, but in OpenQM it was displaying the PSTR value over the bottom line of the border which is row 23.  My last line printed in the menu program was the log off selection at row 22.  After much code changing in XPRMT, I modified the menu program to display the menu selections first and the draw the border and that presented everything properly.  What I see is that even though the XPRMT instruction is "PRINT@(0,24):PSTR;", PSTR is being printed at the next row after the last PRINT from the calling program.  Can anyone explain this and does anyone have a solution to get XPRMT to print the prompt string where the code specifies?

Thanks,

Dale
