Hello,
I am trying to make a program that takes a string and types it out onto the computer screen 1 letter at a time, as if it were being typed by a person in real time. If it is possible I would like for the program to keep the flashing position indicator. The only solution I can think of involves painstakingly writing out every screen variation and I would like very much to find a more compact solution.

Thanks in advance.

There is actually a function built in to ComputerCraft to do this, it is textutils.slowWrite and textutils.slowPrint.
