Thank you. I'll try this and get back to you on it. This should help.

EDIT: This does help! Thank you so much.

Use this code:

shell.run("redpulse", "side", "time", "amount of pulses you want")

Or, another way to do this using a function is:

function rdpls(side, time, pulse)
 shell.run("redpulse", side, time, pulse)
end

This is great, except I can't type, let's say, a password. Other than that, this is great.

How do I make a timer? I know you can make a timer with os.startTimer(x). But I want a timer where you can still type and do other stuff in the program. Anyone know how to do this? If so, please respond. Thank you in advance.

I found out how to do it.
No worries.

Use this to make it untypeable until the computer restarts.
sleep()
Or use this for an amount of seconds.
sleep(1)

I haven't tested this, but it should work.

--Put this into sender
print("Enter ID of sender: ")
id = read()
print("What would you like to send: ")
msg = read()
rednet.send(id, msg)
end
--Put this into receiver
id, msg = rednet.receive()
print(msg)
if msg == "runClear" then
shell.run("clear")
end

Since I didn't want to make a new post, how do you change the size of the text?

Well, if you find a way to do it, would you please PM me how?

http://pastebin.com/AsXYxYYi All right, I got a different menu code. But this one prints vertical when I want it to print horizontal. Could someone please help?
And, sorry for the double post.

It seems that the problem is that I can't have it as a startup.

Grim Reaper, I used your code and I stripped away all the '--''s. Now it says:

startup:28:attempt to call nil

And here is my current code, in the form of Pastebin:

You know what? I changed my mind! Github account name EmTeaKay

IGN: EmptyK
Best program: Password Door Lock/Light Switch
What your current project is: Making a menu for different "stuff".
Your github username: I don't have one. And I won't get one either.
Notes: I am somewhat good at Lua, not the best, and not the worst.

Labled computers are static. However, unlabled computers will lose all of the programs you have.

Awesome images. +1

Okay, but that didn't help. Is there a way you could edit my code? And, if it's not too much trouble, could the person who helps me also change the options from vertical to horizontal?

How do I make a border for my menu? I tried asking in Ask a Pro forum section, and they said to come here.
Also, my options looke like this:
1
2
3
When I want them to look like this:
1 2 3
Any help?
Here's the code:

function clear()
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
end
function one()
sleep(.5)
clear()
print("Hello")
end
function two()
sleep(.5)
clear()
print("Hey")
end
function three()
sleep(.5)
clear()
print("Hi")
end
local menuOptions = {"1", "2", "3"}
local termX, termY = term.getSize()
local selected = 1
function centerText(text, termY)
term.setCursorPos(termX/2-#text/2,termY)
term.write(text)
return true
end
function start()
while true do
term.clear()
for i,v in ipairs(menuOptions) do
  if i == selected then
	   centerText("["..v.."]", i)
else
	centerText(v,i)
end
   end
   local id, key = os.pullEvent()
   if key == 208 and selected < #menuOptions then
	selected = selected + 1
   elseif key == 200 and selected > 1 then
	selected = selected - 1
   elseif key == 28 then
	return selected
   end
end
end
x = start()
print()
if selected == 1 then
one()
end
if selected == 2 then
two()
end
if selected == 3 then
three()
end

How do I make a menu border? So it would appear like this:

+----------+
| [1] |
| 2 |
| 3 |
+----------+

Also, here is my current code:

function clear()
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
end
function one()
sleep(.5)
clear()
print("Hello")
end
function two()
sleep(.5)
clear()
print("Hey")
end
function three()
sleep(.5)
clear()
print("Hi")
end
local menuOptions = {"1", "2", "3"}
local termX, termY = term.getSize()
local selected = 1
function centerText(text, termY)
term.setCursorPos(termX/2-#text/2,termY)
term.write(text)
return true
end
function start()
while true do
 term.clear()
 for i,v in ipairs(menuOptions) do
  if i == selected then
	   centerText("["..v.."]", i)
 else
    centerText(v,i)
 end
   end
   local id, key = os.pullEvent()
   if key == 208 and selected < #menuOptions then
    selected = selected + 1
   elseif key == 200 and selected > 1 then
    selected = selected - 1
   elseif key == 28 then
    return selected
   end
end
end
x = start()
print()
if selected == 1 then
 one()
end
if selected == 2 then
 two()
end
if selected == 3 then
 three()
end

Yes, I do agree it is a lot better explained, but searching through that much code without knowing what you're looking for is daunting. So, do you think I could give you my current code and you change it? Because I am that that great at Lua tables and all that jazz.

Also, thank you in advance.

Great, I got it working, but how do I make it so it goes sideways instead of up and down?

Current code:

local menuOptions = {"1", "2", "3"}
local termX, termY = term.getSize()
local selected = 1
function centerText(text, termY)
term.setCursorPos(termX/2-#text/2,termY)
term.write(text)
return true
end
function start()
while true do
 term.clear()
 for i,v in ipairs(menuOptions) do
  if i == selected then
	   centerText("[ "..v.."] ", i)
 else
    centerText(v,i)
 end
   end
   x,y = os.pullEvent()
   if y == keys.down and selected < #menuOptions then
    selected = selected + 1
   elseif y == keys.up and selected > 1 then
    selected = selected - 1
   elseif y == keys.enter then
    return selected
   end
end
end
x = start()
print()
print("You have selected option: "..x)  

Also, it shows up like
[1]
[2]
[3]

So, I need help making a menu. Nothing complex, just a three option menu. I know there's a tutorial here: http://www.computerc...gh-menu-making/ but I can't get that to work.
All I need is the code and an explanation and I'll be able to figure it out.
