"what if the "y" half of set caret was monitored and only display the text if it is greater than zero... "
That would work Johnno.
I just did a quick test here, and for a table with up to 1000 items (lines to print), there is no difference between printing all lines, or just those that appear on screen (on my pc). However, by the time the table has reached 2000 items, the frame per second figure for printing all lines is 300, compared to 500 when I just print the lines that appear on screen. So, it is really down to how many lines of narrative you would want to store in the table for the text adventure. You may even have the option of removing some lines from the table if they are no longer needed?
