I believe that you're misinterpreting the purpose of Ask a Pro (AaP). We're not here to spoon feed you, nor are we here to make code for you. Our 'job' here in AaP is to provide assistance when people are having problems with something in their code, for example errors or unexpected behaviour. generally we prefer to see what you've done or the different things you've tried so that we can see how you're interpreting the problem and then we can make suggestions upon that as to what you did wrong.

at this point in time all I can really suggest is for you to temporarily suspend your 'OS' project and instead spend some time learning Lua as well as the various APIs that ComputerCraft provides. i would also like to point out that when you do have problems don't be afraid to use a 'programmers best friend', Google (I suggest reading this to see how you can better use Google). it could also be beneficial to take a look at other peoples programs to see what and how they've done things, and feel free to play with their code to see what effect making certain changes has on the program, this is one of the best ways of learning a language. once you've done this you'll find developing programs much more fun, entertaining, and fulfilling, knowing that you've created the program and dealt with any errors occurred yourself with very little external help; of course that being said don't be afraid to come to us when you do have problems that you cannot figure out.
