Is there a function I can call to dislay a text file with pauses.
I can read the text file into a variable and then display the
file, but it's just a dump. I figured there is probably a
display file function I'm missing.
Yep, you can do this with either a "Ctrl-A code" or an "@-code".
Both are explained on the Wiki:

The "@-code" is probably easier. Just embed a "@PAUSE@" (without the quotes) in your file at the appropriate place(s).

The easiest method is console.printfile().
If you want to do it more manually for some reason, you can use the File methods to read the data and then console.putmsg() to display it (with screen-pauses).

Ahhh thanks! I'll try that, that's probably what I was looking for.
