What do you mean by screen, a console screen or a Windows view? Try and be a bit more specific about your problem.

I made something similar years ago... it was a college assignment...

Arrays are the answer...

you will have to create a small parser:

read the word (find a space, comma or anything that is not a letter) count the chars found till the last time, check how many chars are left in the line you are.. .decide what to do and show it...

You should start showing the text from one position... this position should be one array index... that index should change depending on the "page" you want to see...

HTH...
