Hi from Paris,

Way back in the good old days, on a 3270
monitor, we could blink any line. Very useful !

I want to blink an error message, to bring
it to the attention of the user, but I don't
want to stop the execution of the current
script.

How would I go about this ?
-------------------------------------------------------
In Rev, many thing run faster if the
screen lock is true and the
lock messages is true

Try
lock messages -- unless you need this
lock screen
repeat many steps
add 1 to processCount
if the processCount > 50 then
unlock screen --allow an update
set the hilite of something to false
lock screen
set the hilite of something to true --for next time
put 0 into processCount
end if
end repeat

---
Also look at a second compiled app that doest the blinking blinking.
It will run as a separate process in RAM and cpu thread
