Hello, I'm trying to find a way to make a "startup" program go to a monitor. Help? Thank you.

You have to wrap the monitor and then use term.redirect:


local monitor = peripheral.wrap("side") -- change side to the side of your monitor
term.redirect(monitor)
-- Your code here
term.restore()

That would make your program run on the monitor, and when it ends it restores the output to the terminal.
