I spent quite a while figuring this one out.
Here's how it works:
//Load an integer
int isPressEnter = 1;
//Load the images, you'll need one main title screen, and one "Press Enter" graphic.
int TitleScreen = LoadImage("title.pcx");
int pressEnter = LoadImage("pressEnter.pcx");
//Start a loop until the user presses Enter.
while(!b1)
{
//Blank screen
Render();
//display your title screen
Blit(0,0,TitleScreen,screen);
//If this is between your first and 60th run of the loop...
if(isPressEnter > 0 && isPressEnter < 60)
{
//Display the Press Enter graphic. NOTE: These coordinates are specific to my game.
Blit(113, 226, pressEnter, screen);
//Increase the counter.
isPressEnter = isPressEnter + 1;
}
//or if it's above your 120th run of the loop...
else if (isPressEnter > 120)
{
//Reset the counter
isPressEnter = 1;
}
//or if it's between the 60th and 120th...
else
{
//continue the counter
isPressEnter = isPressEnter + 1;
}
//Show the screen
ShowPage();
//Repeat
}
I'm sorry, I spent a lot of time trying to tab this, and it just doesn't show up on the forums. Hope this helps!

Edit: I put pre-tags around your code. Nice work, though! -grue

Just so you know how to in the future:
< pre>
This is pre-formatted text.
It cares about whitespace.
And also is in a monospaced font
just like you get in a text editor
So everything lines up!
</ pre>
It's a useful little bit of html to know :3

Here's something useful: my function that makes your computer wait a set number of cycles. Very useful for code that is reliant on timing:
// Wait in hundredths of a second. Pauses VC until wait is over.
void Wait(int delay)
{
int t;
t = timer+delay;
while(t > timer)
{
UpdateControls();
}
}
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------
// Wait in hundredths of a second and update the map too.
void WaitUpdate(int delay)
{
int t;
t = timer+delay;
while(t > timer)
{
Render();
ShowPage();
}
}
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------
// Wait in hundredths of a second. Skippable by holding ESC, the
// left mouse button or Enter.
void SkipWait(int delay)
{
if (!b1 && !b3 && !mouse.l) { Wait(delay); }
}

And one more example of the same ...
int pressenter=NewImage(TextWidth("PRESS ENTER",0),FontHeight(0);
RectFill(0,0,ImageWidth(pressenter),ImageHeight(pressenter),RGB(255,0,255),pressenter);
PrintString(0,0,pressenter,0,"PRESS ENTER");
while(!key[SCAN_ENTER])
{
RectFill(0,0,ImageWidth(screen),ImageHeight(screen),0,screen);
Silhouette(100,100,RGB(Random(0,255),Random(0,255),Random(0,255)),pressenter,screen);
ShowPage();
}
// on with the show
Overkill: You forgot ShowPage(); in your while loop. That'll cause unpleasant results. >_<

I've always been partial to something like
int toggle = 1;
{
toggle = toggle * -1;
if toggle = TRUE then text( x, y, "PRESS START");
}
Every cycle, the toggle is multiplied by -1. which basically means it flips continuously between -1 and 1 every pass through the loop.

Hey, good idea, I never thought of that. That and that Wait()function would make a perfect effect!
