Look here; there are several examples. Most are a bit more complicated than you need for your single config item, but I find that if I have one config item, I'll usually think of another one later, so it's best to set up your notecard format so you can add features.

After taking a look at those, we'll be happy to help you with any questions! Happy hunting.

Hi Arminius, try this:

string sNotecard;
integer iLine = 0;
key kID;

default 
{
    changed(integer c) 
    { 
    	// reset script if inventory has been changed
    	if(c&CHANGED_INVENTORY) llResetScript();
	}
	state_entry()
	{
		//check if a notecard exists
        if(llGetInventoryNumber(INVENTORY_NOTECARD)==0)
        {
        	llSay(0, "No notecard found!");
        	return;
        }
        //get the name of the first notecard
        sNotecard = llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_NOTECARD, 0); 
        iLine = 0;
        //request first line. This calls the dataserver event:
        kID = llGetNotecardLine(sNotecard, iLine); 
	}
	dataserver(key query_id, string data) 
    {
    	//check if what we got is what we want
    	if (query_id == kID) 
        {
        	//end of file?
            if (data != EOF) 
            {
            	//put your routines here, e.g.
            	llSetText(data, <1.,1.,1.>,1.);
            	//if you expect only one line, you can stop here, 
            	//no need to request the next line
            	//we include it here though for completeness
            }
            else // request next line
            {
            	++iLine;
				kID = llGetNotecardLine(sNotecard, iLine); 
			}
		}
	}
}

Bye,

thank you Tala sl is small i must say to meet you here

That's a lot of work for something so simple. If you're displaying a relatively short message, store it in the object description then go llSetText(llGetObjectDesc(), <1, 1, 1>, 1.0);
