if you want words, just use separate list atoms: a 3-atom list "1 2 3" will result in a text "1 2 3" (with blanks!) if you really want symbols with blanks, use [makefilename] and or [list2symbol], but there should be no need for it here.
character to code blanks in lists - AFAIK pd doesn't support such a thing (does it?).
I have the text moving up the screen, how would i get it to read each line of the txt file in order one at a time and display them without killing the previous line (think titles at start of starwars, ish).
What about one [text3d] for every line, moving up? It'll be a little bit sofisticated to synchronize all the [text3d] with one [textfile] - maybe you could try one [textfile] for every [text3d]?
yes, i'd also suggest using something like multiple [text3d]s. in the current CVS of Gem, the text-objects support multilined text (but you are on your own to generate a linebreak within a list!). it really depends on the text you want to do, whether this fits or not (e.g. if you have 1000 lines of text but you only want to display 5 lines at a time, you might be better off using 5 [text3d] objects instead of going through the hazzle with linebreaks)
