Is there a program which will let me button which will let me toggle redstone out the back of the advanced computer, i will click a button and the button will go red for a redstone output from the back, I will press it again and it will turn the redstone signal off? is this possible? i have a 1 tall by 3 wide advanced monitor? Thanks:)

Could you clean your English up a little, I can't fully understand what your asking, but if you want to have a "button (stone/wooden)" toggle an event on your computer… then do

if rs.getInput("back") then  --change back to where the button is
  <Code here>
end

I believe he meant a button inside the computer where you click on it then it sets the redstone output on the back of the computer.

I think he want's to have a button on his monitor and when he clicks it it toggles to red and emits a redstone signal, if he clicks it again it would toggle back to green and stop the redstone signal… but it is really well encrypted :D/>

EDIT: There's always someone faster that you :(/>

here you go here is one I made for someone a little while ago

http:// pastebin.com/2gyrzVjF

Here is the better one, made a few modifications to suit what you needed

EDIT: It is very customisable, just change any of the variables you wish inside the marked area, you can change the colours, text, and location of the button.

Button, as in minecraft button or a button in a computer… you need to be a little more specific, but just use Engineers tutorial, it's really good, and I strongly recommend you use it.

If you are talking to me with that statement, then that is exactly what my program does, there is a customisable button that appears on the monitor.

Very true, but they do keep mentioning an advanced monitor and putting a button on it, which is where yours would become obsolete.

Lol, I wish they would add a side panel for extra buttons to be on, like instead of only one button per block side, it would give the option for like 9, this would allow for a WAY easier button password. Maybe I should suggest it.

Don't bother, when and if the redstone and bundled cable extender peripheral gets implemented it should fill this void.

Good idea, I don't keep up on that mod though, but when and if it comes out with that, I would defiantly get it.
