Just replace the first two lines with it's equivalent expanded-out version:


Then press the space bar to see the scrolling message. It's a bit fast, but I'm sure you can fix it

Ian - Thanks, I dont have DarkBasic installed here at work to test it, but i should have noticed that, I've corrected the code above now

dan958 - This is a very basic version, But with practice you should be able to expand on it to suit your purpose more
