Don't be hard on yourself, I added a bit of code to make it work ;)

Post by: Xeda112358 on February 03, 2011, 12:04:35 am: Hey! That's not a bit! That's a byte :P (just playin')
Fine, I take away a byte:
Code: [Select]
Pause "HELLO WORLD!So that is a neat trick. If you want to Pause and display text or a number, you can use Pause the same way you use Disp.
To display text, you use the quotation mark.

This displays the number 37:
Code: [Select]
Pause 37This displays "HOWDY WORLD!" on the homescreen:
Code: [Select]
Pause "HOWDY WORLD!

Pause "HELLO WORLD!
Wouldn't that be two bytes? Because the newline is a byte.

Yes, indeed.

I don't remember how many, but on this forum, to prevent spam and bots, we require at lest so many posts to do certain things. For example, you can't use OmnomIRC until you have 20 posts. Editing your profile is one of those things. I think it comes after 5 posts. Oh, posts in Randomness and Introduce Yourself topics do not increase post count.
