My fault I wasn't more clear. It's a text file generated nightly. I won't be able to add @ codes. I thought maybe there was a displayfile(); function or something I could use to write it to the screen.

Right now I'm doing something like this -

var lines=f.readAll();
f.close();
Unlock(f.name);
dk.console.attr="G"
dk.console.println(lines.join("\r\n"));

This works fine, but it comes out as one big dump and everyone has to scroll up to read the results. Thanks!
