The write() isn't the issue here.ãã > I want it so no user activity is required, just show the message.

Everytime I call write, it will display the line, then the pause prompt will follow. I want it so no user activity is required, just show the message. I might us mswait to make it stay there on the screen for a few seconds.

write("\r\n\1h\1rNumber Pad Required!\r\n\r\n");

maybe you have bad size defined at your terminal user settings
