Hey, so whenever i set my screen into offscreenonly mode, whenever i need the user to type in info, it doesnt show what the user is actually typing, since the screen is not View.Update ' ing. solution?

call View.Update whenever you want the screen to be updated?

You could set it to "nooffscreenonly".

[Lucas]

View.Update
put "type something "..
View.Update
get something
View.Update

still this doesnt let the user see what he/she is typing, its just blank..

You are calling that last View.Update only after the full get statement is done. Presumably you want View.Update after a keystroke, not a get.

or, you know, you could use "nooffscreenonly" before the get statement...
