I feel sure I can get away with providing a couple of hints. First, it is
not necessary or advisable to deal with control codes: use Get_Line and
New_Line. Second, you may (or may not) wish to detect End_of_Page, and
perhaps stop displaying lines in the current 'frame' when encountering one.
For the sake of clean programming (at least), I suggest two text buffers
are kept: one for the file name, and one for buffering lines of text as
they are read in. Two other variables should be kept, integers, containing
the actual length of the string in each text buffer.
