What would the effect look like? If it looks how I imagine it would it migh be useful. Could someone test this out and post their findings? Maybe a picture along with code? Not sure if this now belongs in user requests or not lol... thanks for any answers.

Hope that makes some kinda sense, Code: void main() { cout << "I am MrCode,"; cout << "hear me roar!"; system("PAUSE"); }
