Noobs need help too!

So.. I just started playing around with OpenComputers.. It looks like a great mod, and it would be better if i knew Lua :).
It's pretty interesting how everything works together
 

Description:

  I'd like to see what this mod can do, but for now i just need to know how to put text so that only it appears, without anything else.


Function:

  I would like a function to write text on a screen with nothing else on it.

Deadline:

  I'm assuming this means how long i could wait for a response, but I could wait a pretty long time, so just take your time.
 

Additional Information:

  Simply ask me if you have other questions.

after you build a computer that can boot with the openos floopy in the disk drive, run `install` so that your rootfs isn't read only, it'll reboot, then you can write scripts

edit - a simple tool for editing files

simple script:

```

print("hello what is your name?")

local name = io.read()

print("hello", name)

```

we're on OC 1.7 these days, but the 1.4 tutorials are still helpful

So, i figured out how to write code, but what would the code for my request above be? The video was super helpful, but didn't really show me how to make a sign with just the text :).

[payonel 21]

local term = require("term")

term.clear()

print("text")
