monitor text scale

i'm trying to make the text on my monitor smaller but

monitor.setTextScale(0.5)

doesn't seem to work. it's probably how i'm using the command but i can not get it to work.
can someone please help me?

programs:
1) run:
shell.run ("monitor", "top", "test")

2) test:
local w, h = term.getSize()
term.setCursorPos(w,1)
monitor.setTextScale(0.5)

term.setCursorPos(10,1)
term.write (w)
term.setCursorPos(10, 5)
term.write (h)

You need to wrap the peripheral before you can call to it.

local monitor = peripheral.wrap("side") --change side to the side the monitor is on
monitor.setTextScale(.5)
monitor.write("whatever")

At least be consistent–monitor or mon, pick one. :-)

OOPS D:
Thanks for catching that for me. I am so used to using mon, that I put it in there. Fixed now…
