A couple of things I'd like to do with the Output Window - copy and paste the output into a text file for printing (easier to check the data a program is outputting, make notes etc) and being able to scroll when the number of lines exceeds what the Mode stipulates (I usually use Mode 26 on my laptop).
I'm guessing its not possible to do either of these things as I haven't found a reference to them in the manual.

Re: Output window
I tried a few key combos but CTRL+TAB isn't one I guessed at. I'm not bothered about the font as I only want to paste into a text editor.
As for the scrolling, all I need is for the output to scroll upwards (the output of my program prints out altitude and azimuth angles every hour, along with a few other variables like hour angle, declination etc). CTRL+TAB obviously copies everything in the output window, so it can be pasted into a textedit document every so often, I just have to make sure I don't leave it too long so it disappears forever off the top of the window.

Re: Output window
That's useful, thanks. I'm afraid my BASIC education was limited to the original BBC User Guide, and its description of *SPOOL focuses on merging two programs, rather than sending the output to a file. Your help pages are a lot more comprehensive!
