Attached is a new and improved Start-Demo script. Here is a brief list of the differences:

  • Fix bug for demo files that have a single line
  • Intro text explains that this is a REAL demo
  • Cleaned up HELP and added some usage notes
  • Now emulates TYPING by introducing a random pause between key output
    • You can control the pause interval
    • Entering a key during the command typing will cause it to cancel the pauses
    • The command to be entered is displayed on the window title before the typing starts so you can see what is coming.
  • Colors are control via variables (so you can easily change them for your environment)
  • I added a few more comments
  • Timecheck now tells you where you are in the demo: You are at line 10 of 29

Enjoy!
