I was playing around with DB Pro and came up with an idea for a program...

+ Code Snippet

xpos = 480 : ypos = 300
set window title "Move with Arrow Keys"
set window size 320,200
do
set window position xpos,ypos
if rightkey() then inc xpos,5
if leftkey() then dec xpos,5
if upkey() then dec ypos,5
if downkey() then inc ypos,5
loop

If you try this program, you will see that it has major problems. If anyone has a solution, it would really be aprecitated.
PLEASE RESPOND!

It can't be fixed with standard DBPro commands, but there are two commands in one of my plug-ins that will work for you:

+ Code Snippet

xpos = 480 : ypos = 300
set window title "Move with Arrow Keys"
set window size 320,200
do
   position window  get dbpro window(), xpos, ypos
   if rightkey() then inc xpos,5
   if leftkey() then dec xpos,5
   if upkey() then dec ypos,5
   if downkey() then inc ypos,5
loop

POSITION WINDOW is the first and GET DBPRO WINDOW is the second.
