Moving to the top of a text window

[hal9k]

This is probably simple...  I opened a text window to create a report.  The user can then use the menu choices to save or print the report.  After I've created the report, the text window is positioned at the bottom of the report, perhaps several hundred lines from the beginning.  I want the use to see the first page of the report, but I can't find any text commands to "move" to the top of the text.   Is there such a command?

Thanks, as always!

I found a way, but it's *ugly. This is what I used:


   firstPage$ = "Page: 1"
   PRINT #Reports, "!find firstPage$";
   PRINT #Reports, "!copy";
   PRINT #Reports, "!paste";



It works, but I'm hoping there is a better way.

If you look under text commands you will find methods to get and set the origin. So origin is the term to search out for examples. I have not used it very much.

Oh, I thought that was to move the window. I'll look closer. Thanks.

It's near the end of the page in help under - Text Commands.

You want this line.

Print #Reports, "!origin 0 0"

can also be written

#Reports "!origin 0 0"

Thanks again, guys. It works great and is MUCH more elegant than the hack I came up with. Don't know why I misinterpreted it to mean moving the window.
