I'm thinking about embarking on a project and I'd like to bounce some ideas
off some people that are familiar with the programming language to see how I might accomplish some of the things that my project is going to require.

For example one of the questions I have is how to control the screen for all the users - so for example if someone is set to 24 lines and someone else is set to 52 lines how do I detect that and adjust my application output accordingly?

Anyone?

There is a function called MCI2STR() which will allow you to get the user's screen length field. You'll have to supply val:=MCI2STR('XX') where 'XX' is the MCI code for the user's screen length. The MCI2STR() function is good
for retrieving all the data from available MCI codes.
