Woah! Is ure avatar just a pic, or some mini program?!?!? My operating system and IE are what it says!!! Shocked

Anyways... I dont't know how to open a cdrom drive, but every computer has a different letter for their drive, e.g mine is D; some may be C; some B etc...

To make custom text, as in fonts, you can use all the Font options (check reference) and with that you can specify ure font etc... or possibly I have no clue what I'm talking about and just made u stupider for reading :p.

Right... hope that helps Very Happy .

GUI.Alert is available for you type in and stare at in all its glory.

Apart from that, (as specified in the documentation), it is not yet implemented.

I have made custom alerts before...not difficult...just open a new window, big red text, w/ buttons to close the alert window...

As for the CD drive...try looking for system commands.

there is no turing comand for opeing the cdrom drive but as meationed above you could call another progame using the exec comand that could do. Turing dose not have any true hard ware conotrel so doing such things whould be diffuclt using only turing.
