If you are running a Wildcat board and generating the short REALtime hello screens you may be interested in the following for improved display to your users. The Hello screens are generated with NO @PAUSE@ statement at the end. This is to give the SYSOP maximum leeway to determine the usage of the screen (either as a hello, bulletin, newsletter etc screen). On my board the screen is used as a hello. I generate the hello in my DISPLAY directory as HELLO8.BBS. My HELLO9.BBS screen contains ONLY a @PAUSE@ statement. Hence, the users see the hello8.bbs screen come up, followed by the hello9.bbs screen containing only the @PAUSE@ statement which stops the screen for viewing. You can also place another smaller (less then full size hello screen) in your HELLO9.BBS screen followed by the @PAUSE@ statement. The effect is the same, the upper portion being the latest doors entered on your system followed by whatever other info you may want to display to the users. The RIP hello screens can be configured within REALtime to make the @PAUSE@ statement a part of the generated hello screen. -Pete
