Is there a function I can call to dislay a text file with pauses.ããI can read the text file into a variable and then display the file, but it's just a dump. I figured there is probably a display file function I'm missing.ããThanks!ãã---TLMãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Nite Eyes BBS - To make people happy about my tagline everywhere...ã

Just embed a "@PAUSE@" (without the ãquotes) in your file at the appropriate place(s).ãããã...

I thought maybe there was a displayfile(); function or something I could use to write it to the screen.ããRight now I'm doing something like this -ãã var lines=f.readAll();ã f.close();ã Unlock(f.name);ã dk.console.attr="G"ã dk.console.println(lines.join("\r\n"));ããThis works fine, but it comes out as one big dump and everyone has to scroll up to read the results.
