Is there a way to use the "write" command in js without it using a pause. All I want to do is display a one line comment momentarly without the user having to hit enter. Thanks in advance.

If you want to have it wait momentarily without user input, you can call mswait and give it a number of milliseconds to pause.

I'm not clear what you're asking. Is the screen clearing immediately after or something happening to the text ("comment") your displaying to the user with write()?

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");

so just adding the mswait command with the milliseconds will suppress the pause prompt. I'll give it a shot. I've only used mswait one other time, so I wasn't aware. Thanks

Everytime I call write, it will display the line, then the pause prompt will follow.

Most likely, that pause prompt is *not* because of the write() call but rather because your script has stopped executing and the user is returning to a menu that is displaying a menu with a clear-screen sequence or you script has a clear-screen sequence in (e.g. console.clear()) or is displaying a file that has a clear-screen sequence in it. The write() isn't the issue here.

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");

And then what happens after that? It's *that* that is causing the screen pause. --

No, an mswait() call will not suppress a pause prompt.

The pause prompt is happening because there is a screen clear or scroll and there is unacknowledged/read text on the user's screen. Adding an mswait() call isn't going to change that.

mswait() won't suppress any pause prompts; mswait() simply delays for a moment and then lets the script continue on.
I might be a little confused. What pause are you seeing that you need to suppress?
I've used write() before and hadn't necessarily seen it cause any pause prompts where the user had to input anything. If you're seeing such a pause prompt, I'm wondering if it might be because it's automatically pausing for input after a screenful of information, perhaps?

OK, cool deal, I fully undersatnd. I just got into programing with js, and I'm still learning. It's a big learning curve to me after doing it all with baja. Thanks for the assist.

I think Rob hit the nail on the head. I was using a console clear command afterwords. I am going to tweak it a bit. Everytime I've ever used the write command, I get the pause prompt, and not till today did I realize the commands that I put after that would cause the issues I was having. Thanks for the assist.

No problem. You'd have exact same auto-pause behavior using Baja functions.
