No Cursor? Possible?

Post subject:  No Cursor? Possible?
Im doing a turing assignment for school. The program requires an opening screen and i wanted to have it so that they would press any key to continue (which i know how to do) however, is there a way to make the flashing cursor go away, or at least on this screen? Thanks for your help.

code:
View.Set("nocursor")

Laughing

Also: Try using the Turing help file; A search for "cursor" does bring up this info.

or setscreen ("nocursor")... but View.Set looks cooler Very Happy

can go
code:
View.Set("nocursor")
Input.Pause
View.Det("cursor")

View.Det?

Albrecd, how about keeping your replies limited to the first page of Turing Help? Anything this old doesn't need a reply like yours.

Waits for a key to be pressed, then continues.

For an explanation of any command in Turing, type in the command, put the cursor on it, and then hit F9.

(Or F8 for a really brief contextual reference.)

instead of a key to be pressed, could it wait for a mouse click?

yes - buttonwait()

buttonwait (motion : string,
var x, y, buttonnumber, buttonupdown : int)


for example
Turing:

put "click a mouse button"
var x, y, a, b : int
buttonwait ("up", x, y, a, b)
put "clicked on:", x, ":", y
