- #
- # Displays Help messages with optional timeouts
- #
- # Desc (original):
- # Two sectors, startsector and startsecotr2 will trigger the message number
- # specified by messagenumber. The stopsectors display message 0, effectively
- # turning it off.
- #
- # Desc (Timer version):
- # There are now two new variables, displaytime and show_once.
- # Displaytime, if set to a number larger than 0, will only
- # display the message for the number of seconds it's set to.
- # Show_once, if set to 1, will display the message only once then never
- # display it again.
- #
- # [MT] Created
- # 11/03/97 [DGS] Added Printtext commands for debugging
- # 11/04/97 [DGS] Added two more start and stop sectors
- # 12/03/97 [DGS] Modified "Helptext" to add timeouts and one-offs (see desc. above).
- # 03/10/98 [JP] Modified to add 2nd message.
