Hello all,

I'd like to write quite a long explanation in custom.scn, but not all appears on screen after pressing F5 at main me, only the last.

How can I do to allow users to read all my explanations ?
There is about 45 lines print "..................."

Thank you for your help

Hmm maybe by changing the screen "resolution" from 25 lines to 43 and shortening the text a little bit.
Or by using something like "more", except that I don't know if the file you're talking about is some kinda batch file or something else ^^

The best way will probably be to divide into two screens and use space bar to advance to the next screen.

Merci Constance

Mais ce n'est pas la solution que je souhaiterais utiliser

Thanks Victor,

This is something I would like to do but I don't know how ?
Which code can divide into two screens and which one to let the space bar go to next screen ?

Split the content into two files eg. custom.scn and custom2.scn.

Then in custom.scn, put something like:

Code: Select all

if ($lastKey == key[space]); then script custom2.scn

I've

Code: Select all

 boot/menus>

with a prompt and nothing happens when I press the space bar.

I'll continu my tests, do you have an idea ?

Thank you Victor, it works now.

I had to look around how all this stuff works.

See you,
