What is the correct way to use no pause when using console.printfile?

console.printfile(filename [,mode=P_NONE])

Or at least point me to a js file I can look it up in. :)

Thanks!

Just thought I'd throw this out there: has anyone actually looked this up?
The best, most concise definition I found:

1) 1/100 of a second 2) one millisecond 3) approximately one nanosecond
4) indeterminate time from a few seconds to forever

'jiffy' has to be the most general word in the english language! ;)

console.printfile("somefile.txt", P_NOPAUSE);

Thanks! But I guess I was using an old bullet.js and its changed a bit
so the line is:

load(new Object, "typeasc.js", str, "BullsEye Bulletin #"+b);

What I am trying to accomplish is to have bulletin just dump the file
and have any pause in the asc or whatever file I am displaying.

I put in the "-nopause" between str & "BullsEye.." but after the two
sections of my bulletin file are displayed, I still got the [Hit any
Key] at the end of the file.

I suppose there is something I am missing in there..

Thanks!

Like the fact its not on the console.print line that is a few lines up:

console.printfile(mod_dir+"bullseye/text/bullseye.asc", P_NOPAUSE);

Posting the question always helps point out the obvious answer. :P

Thanks!

;) I wonder if it could also be used as an adjective, meaning "like Jif peanut butter". :P

I always heard that a Jiffy was 1/60th of a second, based on AC cycles or timer interrupts on a Commodore PET.

So you tried load(new Object, "typeasc.js", "-nopause", str, "BullsEye..."); ? That should work.
