<div>Hi, Cazaw.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Welcome to PythonCE. I remember wrestling with similar issues with the raw_input. AFAIK its features are very limited and it does rather awkwardly appear over the PythonCE window. You can, of course, position your text output with some spacing.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If you are satisfied with just a pause before the raw_input window appears then you can import the time module and use the sleep function (although this tends to make the OS think the app is not responding). I usually create a simple loop function instead, when using this method. It would define a pause function and look something like this:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>def pause(t):</div>
<div> t0=time.time()</div>
<div> while time.time()-t0<t:</div>
<div> pass</div>
<div> </div>
<div>where 't' is the number of seconds to pause (and can be a decimal if needed). Then you just call the pause function at the point in your code where you want to wait.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Unfortunately, I think that any other method whereby (hard or soft) key or stylus input is used would be non-trivial and requires quite a bit more effort.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If you have the time to put into it, I would suggest looking into the PocketPyGUI package or compiling the SDL library and using that (I have some info on using SDL with PythonCE here: <a href="http://watersprite.awardspace.com/python">watersprite.awardspace.com/python</a>).<br>
</div>
<div>Perhaps other list members have some other suggestions?</div>

fine and eliminate the problem.
