Hi, i have made a welcome message that will run on startup but i can't get i to show up on my monitor
i only get this error message: bios:206: [string "startup"]:1: ')' expected


this is my code in my startup file


shell.run("monitor", "top", "hello")

and this is the hello program


print(" #############################################")
print(" #						 #")  
print(" #		Welcome Sharakuzz!		  #")
print(" #   I hope the weather is good today	 #")
print(" #				   	  #")
print(" #############################################")

The code is fine, it might be a typo in the real code (if you typed it here instead of copying it).
