Best way to display activity

[deef99]

We have a script that picks up what is going on Real Time based on data in text files are they are periodically generated.

I have created a script that gets key values from a text file and tried SplashtextOn, but that overwrites each line. I want to be able to show a line then show the newest line of data on top of the previous one.

Any ideas?

What about the possibility of using a Window and the scroll down bar? That would be ok...

Can anyone point me in the right direction for creating something like that please?

THANK YOU!
