Description
This is a very old XCMD!
It just throws up a small, dialog style window with a single line message in it - you know, something like "Hang on a mo whilst I format your hard disc...".
The syntax is:
Info <text> [, <rect> [, <centered> ] ]
Where <text> is a messge to display, <rect> is an optional parameter specifying the rect of the window, and <centered> is an optional boolean parameter, which should be true if you want the window to be horizontally centered.
To remove the Info window,use the close command:
close window "Info"
Example script
on mouseUp
put "Please click the mouse" into prompt
Info prompt,"0,0,256,64",true
repeat until the mouseClick
if the long time is not it then
get the long time
set the text of window "Info" to prompt && it
end if
end repeat
close window "Info"
end mouseUp
