Replace this,

  for( c = LfRow + 1; c < RtRow; c++ ) {
    for( i = LfColumn + 1; i < RtColumn; i++ )
      vputchr( (PCH) Fill, c, i, Box_Color );
  }

with this. :-)

  VioScrollUp( LfRow + 1, LfColumn + 1, RtRow - 1, RtColumn - 1,
               RtRow - LfRow - 1,
               Fill,
               0 );

Here's how I call it.

LONG  main()
{

  PBYTE             Fill        = "\xb0\x09";
  PBYTE             Box_Color   = "\x01"    ;
  PBYTE             hi_color    = "\x1f"    ;
  SHORT             Box_Style   =  1        ;


  box( 0, 0, 27, 79, Box_Style, Fill, Box_Color );

}

Seems a bit redundant having the color available in Fill and Box_Color, but
as you mentioned, its a start! :-)
