  • Page Breaks Question

    From Argos@21:1/203 to All on Sunday, September 22, 2019 12:01:40
    I created a System Bulletin called bullet3.asc. Works just fin, however the test of bullet3.asc is about 30 lines. Is there a way to put a page pause, because right now the test is displaying and missing 50% of the story.

    I believe the bulletin script uses the user's page length setting to
    determine where/if a pause is needed. The "More:" prompt is automatically sent based on that setting if needed.

    I've never used it, but the Mystic wiki says using RP## would work, as in
    |RP24 for 24 line pause prompt.

    Pop that in the very first line and column of the file and give it a whack.
