Im creating a program that uses a monitor as a keyboard and i want to know how i can run a program in a monitor and queue the events received from rednet

code so far:


rednet.open("back")
monitorside = "top"
peripheral.call("top", "setTextScale", 0.5)
functrion redneta()
while true do
  id, msg = rednet.receive()
  os.queueEvent(unpack(textutils.unserialize(msg)))
end
end

Any help?

Use the 'rednet_message' or 'modem_message' event instead of rednet receive and then requeuing the event. Then you can still use 'monitor_touch' as it doesn't hold on rednet.receive.
