This reminded me of a routine I wrote for some member here who wanted to calculate the largest font possible on a changing size screen to print a random sentence. That was fun.

This is the stuff SCREEN 0 was made for, but if one wanted to get more of a Windows style appearance, this is the way to go.
It looks like you need to revisit the word-wrap routine, though. Some words wrap, but others break. The only other thing that would need tweaking on my system would be the scrolling. I experienced terrible lag while trying to scroll.
The coolest unique feature, over a SCREEN 0 text app, is the brightness control; although I suppose using palette and out commands some of this could be feature could be implemented or by using Win API, it could be accomplished completely with Win API calls.
Good luck with it. If you can figure out a way to get the speed up, so it's more responsive, that would be great. Funny, I actually thought about making a graphics version of my word program a few weeks ago.
