    I am using a Pi to run the BBS... I had for the longest time a logon1.ans screen... and it always worked... I wanted to add a second one and played around a bit and now they don't display correctly... They are not pausing after they are displayed.

    What code do I need to add on these files do they pause correctly..

    Thanx

    should just be <pipe>PA at the bottom of the file.

    where are you displaying them from? if it's part of a menu (like the prelogin one) you could also add a GT command (display text) and put the pause display code in there instead.

    Can you expand on this pipe PA stuff... is it @PA@ or |PA| or just PA??
