    scrolling text in the body

    I am currently learning 'C' and would like to know if it is possible to get the body of my screen to scroll.

    i.e. I have a header title and a footer message that i wish to remain on and in the same place but require the body content to scroll. Is this possible

    Windows ... Unix ..... ???? Maybe suggest you try the board suited to your OS.
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]

    scroll

    Hi

    This is possible, umm but for a console app it requires quite a bit of work.

    Then again anything is possible with pc.

    You can do it very fast in assembly, even in console mode. But since you said you are learning I won't go into the asm right now.

    That doesn't sound standard to me.
