Any way to turn off the #read command?
 

Is there any way to stop the #read command?
i sometimes have a long poem script going,
and don't know how to stop it.

tried alot of stuff like #break, #close..etc
still no luck

Thanx for any,
G.

A method I use is an alias that is called with an alarm trigger only when a variable is 'on'. When it is 'off' the alarm trigger no longer fires (#T- triggername)..

The #READ statement is in the alias.

Hiya..

Tried putting the #read in a class folder and turning that
folder off, but it didn't work...

could i get a snippet or something to look at?
Thanx for any help..

p.s. the script i am running is a poem about
20 or 30 lines long. I've been using #wait 2000 in between
the lines...tried using #alarm +2 with the #read but it didnt delay at all.

I could make a #read for each stanza, and run them consecutively
but was wondering if there is any other way to opt out
of the #read statement....

G,

Try the #ABORT command. No idea if it will do what you're looking for or not.
