is it possible ?

have a few questions..

1: to dot seperate a number on a screen pr each 1000..
example

normaly it would just write: 1000000
i would like it to show: 1.000.000

that dot seperation.. can it be done??


2: bundled cables, since i know they arent compatible, how do i get another computer to do a certain thing, when it recieves a certain message??

3: ME systems: to make a screen that can show how much of a certain item there is in the ME system?? (to save space, from having 40 storage monitors)

think that was all for now :)/>

You can use modems, and send either a) what you want it to do* or B)/> a message telling it to do that thing
*see string.dump from the link above

I think this can be done with open peripherals. But it might not.
