Hi folks!

I need to update this group on something I found from my original
question, "I'm trying to find a way to disable the message "Press any
key to continue..." in a Universe NT system within a BASIC program in
Pick flavor."

I found the code "N" in for the HEADING command. It is used like the
"L" for line feed and "T" for time... and so on. It needs to be the
last code in the HEADING. So now my program has the ability to disable
and enable the "Press any key to continue..." message. No need to use
$OPTION INFORMATION. Now my program looks like this:

IF PAUSE.ON.SCREEN THEN
NULL (will display "Press any key to continue...")
END ELSE
HEAD.DETAIL := 'N' (will not display "Press any key to
continue...")
END

HEADING HEAD.DETAIL

Thanks for all those to gave me suggestions.

Thanks for the info Peter. Once again, this nuance needs to be
commented in code, so some poor schuck doesn't just add :=NEWOPT onto
the back of your HEAD.DETAIL and then wonder why it breaks.

The fact that any option needs to be inserted into a particular
position is really bad, completely non-standard, and again, something
that one would hope is subject to change in a future release if anyone
should report it.
