I'd like to use an Apple IIe as a message center for students who use our
department.  Standard characters (40 across) are still a little to small
to read from across the room though, so I'm looking for a utility which
would allow me to display/scroll/flash/etc larger characters on the screen.
All I have language-wise is BASIC and a BASIC compiler.  I was going to
have the receptionist type in a file which would describe the messages
and how they are to appear (scroll, flash, boldface, length of time on
screen, etc) and then run the compiled program to display the messages based
on this file.

Thanks for any help...
