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.

View.Set("nocursor")
:lol:

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

or setscreen ("nocursor")... but View.Set looks cooler  :D

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.

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

what would the Input.Pause do ?

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

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