Monitor = peripheral.wrap("right") -- where the monitor is on the right of the computer.
Now you can use the monitor as if it was term.function. Instead of usimg term, you use monitor.
-- so like this in the above code
Monitor.setBackgroundColour(colours.white)
Monitor.setTextColour(coliurs.black)
Monitor.clear()
-- monitors only have a write function so printing is not allowed so eaxh new line you will need to reset cursor pos. Or try this
Monitor.write([[
Txt
Text
Text]])

Or you could do thisYou could just wrap the monitor and replace "term" with the variable
local mon = peripheral.wrap("left")
term.redirect(mon)
-- anything with term API or print and write will now go to the monitor
term.restore()
-- now everything is back on the computer

mon = peripheral.wrap("<side of monitor>")
mon = peripheral.wrap("back")
mon.setTextColour(colours.black) -- to set the colour of the text
mon.setBackgroundColour(colours.white) -- to set the colour of the background
mon.clear() -- to clear the screen so the screen will become white
mon.setCursorPos(1, 1) -- line 1
mon.write("1. Get boxite")
mon.setCursorPos(1,2) --line 2 (might have the 1&2 backwards:P)
mon.write("2. Finish strip mine")
mon.setCursorPos(1,3) --line 3
mon.write("3. Get redstone")

Monitor = peripheral.wrap("right")so do i need to do peripheral.wrap("back") or is there shorter than peripheral because i will forget how to spell that

You are correct, there is no shorter way like there is with redstone… :/Don't think there is a way to shorten it.

For the record… It's not actually the way I suggested, you still have all the mon.'s … By redirecting the terminal you remove the need to use the mon object, and it also allows you to use the normal print and write on the monitor too…I rewrote the code using TheOriginalBIT's suggestion. I tested it for you and I know it was working for me at least.
Let me know if there are any errors.local mon = peripheral.wrap("back") term.redirect(mon) mon.setTextScale(2) mon.setTextColor(colors.blue) mon.setBackgroundColor(colors.white) mon.clear() mon.setCursorPos(1, 1) print([[ FuzzyCorp ToDo List 1. ----- 2. ----- 3. ----- 4. ----- 5. ----- 6. ----- 7. ----- 8. ----- 9. ----- 10. ----- 11. ----- 12. ----- ]]) term.restore()
This way, it's all in "print" and should be easier to edit/add more later on if you need to.

Only textScale needs to be mon as term doesn't have that function. The rest can be term…I tried it with term.'s there, but I was getting an attempt to call nil. I changed it to mon. and it stopped throwing up that error.

print… or making having one function that can work on the computer but optionally go to a monitor if a param is passed in or something like that…Yeah, but is there any advantage once you've gone ahead and wrapped the monitor?
