Hi there,
Currently, I am making an “Operating System” on scratch. It is based on windows. However, I have no clue on how to make a notepad. I want it to be very simple and include numbers and letters only. Please help.

You could use a one item list to display text and just use “ask” to get text, (just replace it all at once). You could also use google or the Scratch wiki to find methods to use actual keystrokes to get data for the list, or a (pen works best) text engine to display it on the screen.

You would have to test for which keys have been pressed, and store them in a list.

So if I pressed “a” then “b,” item 1 in the list will be “a” and item 2 will be “b.”

Then, you would have to display each item somehow. I'm pretty sure this works

say (List :: list)

But it might include a space between each letter.

I'm also trying to figure this out.
