Wait v1.5 -- By Scott Deming
----------------------------
Wait is a utility a little like the MS-DOS Pause utility
but with more meaning. With the MS-DOS Pause utility you are
very limited to only one thing "Press any key to continue. .
." while with WAIT you can make your own prompt and have
colour or even have it beep. This is a very basic program
and is very easy to learn. To use WAIT you just type need to
type in "WAIT {parameters/prompt}". Here is an explanation
of the parameters:
Available parameters:
---------------------
\B : Sounds a beep when inserted to the command line
\Cx : Changes the foreground colour where x is:
0 : WHITE
1 : BLUE
2 : RED
3 : YELLOW
4 : CYAN
5 : PURPLE
6 : GREEN
7 : GREY #1
8 : GREY #2
9 : BLACK
\Tx : Changes the background colour where x is:
0 : WHITE
1 : BLUE
2 : RED
3 : YELLOW
4 : CYAN
5 : PURPLE
6 : GREEN
7 : GREY #1
8 : GREY #2
9 : BLACK
\H : Clears the screen and homes the cursor
\Kx : Sets kalidescope colors on/off where if x=0 then off, if x=1 then on
\Sx : Sets the spinning cursor on/off where if x=0 then off, if x=1 then on
\D : Prints the current dos version
That is all of the function i have thought of so far, but any suggestions
or donations will be accepted at:
