Hey I have a most likely easy question for you guys. What object would you use when you want text messages to display one letter at a time at a certain speed? Y'know, like how the messages in Dragon Quest and a ton of others work.
Thank you

Yeah, you put it Left$, then the string you'll use, and then the number of spaces to use. For example:
Left$("NOVEMBER",3) = "NOV"
Right is the same, only from the end going backwards. Mid$ is the really good one though, you put the string, how many spaces to the right, and then how big the section of the string is you want to compare / get / etc:
Mid$("NOVEMBER",4,2) = "EM"
Although now that I think of it, I think MMF1.5 counts "zero" as being first and not 1. Oh well, it's still useful in places.

Actually, almost any programming language is zero-based. So you'd better get used to it.
