Code for "echo on" on KS1.3-3.1?
I put a program in s-s which outputted some text to CLI the normal way before starting an intro, and on A1200 3.1 at least, the screen stays black until the intro starts. (I relate this to the "hide CLI util Workbench loaded" on KS/OS2.0+.)
What's a best/smallest/nicest/most compatible asm/c code that (like e.g. echo " ") accomplishes the same - activates the Workbench screen with the CLI window on it? Just RemakeDisplay() and done? |

Just to understand, you want your program to wait until the last one has finished displaying its message?
Regardless, I think Write(Output(), "\n", 1)should do what you want (maybe even write "\r" if you don't want the NL, but haven't checked). Should also be easy from ASM if it's what you want. |

How was the program writing text to CLI?
If you're booting from floppy you could just install the Kickstart 1.x bootblock which doesn't set the EBB_SILENTSTART bit in ExpansionBase. |

Yes, it was someone else's floppy - excellent info. So this I guess reduces the thread to what Echo does differently to DOS Write, to (on floppy and harddisk, all OS versions) "unhide" the CLI screen. Is it the same answer? (I tested Echo and this works on 1.3 floppy and 3.1 harddisk.) |

What string were you outputting? Was there a linefeed character in it?
