Hi,
This may be a noob question, but I'm finding something which I think should work one particular way, doesn't.


I have an ANSI file that I want to display when a menu is selected, before going to the selected menu.

I have added the command
(GD) @57600@TRUE@fil-nach0

The problem is, that it doesn't pause. If I change TRUE to END, it does, but only at the end, and the ANSI is more than 24 lines long.

I thought that this would display the file one screen at a time, that it would pause the screen during the display. Are there reasons that this would not happen?

Thanks,
Dennis Katsonis

Have you tried using pablo draw and adding |PA where you want it to
pause, with a where you want clear screens?

sorry pipe codes not showing in my reply. Pipe code plus PA pauses,
pipe code plus CL clears screen, on long ANSI's you want displayed that
are long with intentional pauses. Doing so within an editor is
easiest. What can keep an ANSI from pausing when beyond 24 lines is a
pipe code PO at the beginning and/or saving using mystic's ansi editor
with the option set to not pause.
