STIQQIES_OBJ (the main program) should execute STIQQY_OBJ. What STIQQIES_OBJ actually does is: EXEP prog_name$;message$ (EXEP being the hotkey version of EX, used because it can start a thing as I tend to use STIQQY_OBJ as a thing installed via HOT_CHP) prog_name$ is the program name configured into STIQQIES_OBJ. The other thing that can happen is that when called int his way STIQQY_OBJ appears in a random position - the message can in theory hide behind the main program. Seems a long winded way of writing a simple program, but if you want to write your own 'shell' for it all you have to do is something like: INPUT note$ EX FLP1_STIQQY_OBJ;note$ Someone who uses my QDiary suggested I added a time facility to it. In other words, the message doesn't appear until a given time if a time is specified. To me, that's too like the Alarm program, but if enough people ask... > The other program Stiqqy works as a blank coloured "sticky" though. > > I like the random colour, nice use of the extended colour palette, > this > could get addictive ... :-) My fault for causing confusion with two programs with almost identical names. As for the colour, don't use random if you put a lot of messages on your screen, you need sunglasses! > How about renaming it - "Stick-Q" or "Q-Stick" ... ? Nah, I think STIQQIES is QooL ;-) And STIQQIES has more Q's... (2007 QL nerd-speak?) > More to come in 2007, no doubt ? Quite possibly...You have been warned ;-) All the best, Malcolm. _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
