Actually, have a bunch of lines of text before it so it deletes the old 'Hello world'


Or have a transmission for like 99999 secs, unless that interferes w/ waits. That can be bumped though

Setting transmission time does not change the amount of time the text remains on the screen.

Zb2k's suggestion will work, although it will require a lot of trial and error to determine the amount of time. You can also repeatedly display the line of text with 10 blank lines.

To increase the amount of time the text displays for, you can also use the invisible text character and then type a lot of characters after it. Since the amount of time the text is displayed for depends on the length of the string, the more characters you put in the longer it will stay.
