STARTDISP IEXP
Function
Start PCBoard's display routines in a specified mode.
Syntax
STARTDISP mode
mode - An integer expression with the mode for display.
Valid modes are:
NC = reinitialize the internal display counters
FNS = Force Non Stop
FCL = Force Count Lines
Remarks
PCBoard has two modes for displaying information: non stop and line
count. Non stop mode (initiated by passing FNS, for Force Non Stop, as
the mode parameter) displays information without regard to how fast the
display is or whether or not the user can read it all. Line count mode
(initiated by passing FCL, for Force Count Lines, as the mode parameter)
displays information while counting lines and pausing after every
screenful to wait for user input. Finally, NC may be specified to
reinitialize the internal display counters without changing the
current mode.
Examples
STARTDISP FCL
FOR i = 1 TO 100
PRINTLN "Line ",i
NEXT
STARTDISP FNS
FOR i = 1 TO 100
PRINTLN "Line ",i
NEXT
STARTDISP NC
FOR i = 1 TO 100
PRINTLN "Line ",i
NEXT
