That's just so wrong in so many ways.
Here's an 8 character pager
[mail]sync on
mail$=space$(8)+"Message up to 255 characters goes here."+space$(8)
for scrollX=1 to len(mail$)-7
txt$=""
for display=0 to 7
txt$=txt$+mid$(mail$,display+scrollX)
next display
cls 0
text 20,20,txt$
sync
repeat : until timer()>time+100
timer=timer()
nect scrollX[/mail]
And even though I typed that directly into the forum message box - I still hit Ctrl-S and F5 before I realised I needed to click post.
