Monitor API

Hi there,
I've got here a simple api (probably simplest ever) for drawing text on Monitor
Little backstory
I just've installed this mod (as part of Tekkit), and first problem occurred was "omg how do i write text on monitor?!"
So i started to search forums, and i didn't find anything
so i tried to create an API as simple as possible for this purpose and voila
i made 2 versions, one that automatically finds monitor(mon), and another that needs specifying direction(dmon) (call dmon.setSide(str))
put them in mods/ComputerCraft/lua/rom/api

Notice: mon and dmon have all the functions that term has (write, scroll clear etc.)

EDIT: fixed nil pointer error in mon

there is a MUCH easyer way to put txt on a monitor. just make a program that has the text you want the do monitor (side monitor is on) (name of program)

Well, it would be very cool if you could upload the api's to pastebin.com. I would be able to look through the api's without downloading a zip, and i would be able to download from minecraft, if i wanted to. (If i were on a server, for example.)
Oh yea, btw, on line 3 of mon you specify a variable you dont even need to specify.
And i dont see the point of dmon.
Hope you can use this critisizm (dunno how its spelled.) in future programs, api's and programming generally.

"Spelt" is not the proper word to use here… It is a past participle of "spell", however the word "spelled" is the proper usage of the term you are looking for.
