the question is ...

I can structure the data with "microMACRO 1"? in rombot scripts?

Now what do you mean by "structure data"? I think you're using the wrong terminology here so it is really misleading. Can you explain what you would want to accomplish?

Yes. MicroMacro 2 allows you to use Ncurses, which makes handling "windows" fairly easy. You just declare the size of the rectangles, then you can print data to them and it'll appear in the proper place on the console.

Eventually I plan to write up a tutorial/example on how to do it. It is a bit confusing when you first look at it, but it is not hard to pick up on. Lisa seemed to figure it out mostly within a day.

MicroMacro 1 does not have Ncurses, and therefor cannot do this (easily). I'm sure you could probably write up some code to do it, but it would be a huge mess, and would require a huge amount of work to fit it into the RoM Bot.

Not sure if that is a compliment or not lol

Eh, mostly just saying that if you can figure it out within a day without any decent documentation to go by, then anyone should be able to pick it up once it is documented and explained properly.

Plus, there was a number of bugs plaguing the early versions which you had helped me to find.

me too, you will need to use MM2 to be able to have them though, can't be done in MM1
