Hi 030 students,

     I will let you turn in the Visual Basic program on Friday in class
with no penalty, if you need extra time.  I will give some hints and
clarifications about the assignment on Wednesday in class too.

     Wednesday, I'll try to hand out your next programming assignment too.

     You need to set the AutoRedraw property of your Form to TRUE.

     Form1.AutoRedraw = True at Form_Load() time or set the Form property
     to TRUE at Design time.

     DoEvents is the other statement that is needed right after you print
     a letter on the Form and before you
                                         Sleep(vsbDelayAmount.Value)
     milliseconds.

     The other thing:

            Print Mid(s, j, 1);
            Sleep (vsbSpeed)
            DoEvents
            Print " ";     <-------- Print a blank space so it is
                                     U
                                     U N
                                     U N I      and NOT U
                                                        UN
                                                        UNI
            Set the Form's Font property to Courier New,
            which is the fixed-width non-proportional font where
            upper case M takes the same space as lower case i or a period.
                       -                                    -
            Courier New is the standard font for such types of output.

            You can use the Sleep function at home with the
            Working Model edition of Visual Basic.  Just type it in
            exactly as shown in the handout or on the web pages!
