Hello there.

I'm wondering if it's possible to turn a monitor on in middle of a program.
I need to write something on a monitor, but I also need the player to use the computer itself.

yourmonitor = peripheral.wrap(yourside) -- Yourside is the side of your monitor
term.redirect(yourmonitor)
-- Your code like print or term.write()
term.restore() -- Back to the main computer screen
