    How do you tell when you run out of invisible ink?

    Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

    Why would it change the visibility of the inkwell? An inkwell with invisible ink would always look empty, so you would have to weigh it.

          Depends on who you're telling it to, but I guess "I ran out of invisible ink" is good with most people :)

          }

            The same way you discriminate between a piece of paper that you wrote on with invisible ink, and the piece of paper that was not written on :)

              I have a question actually, if you write, and going to dip the pen in the ink again, how do you know where to start? :doh:

                                      I guess as long as you can see the inkwell, you can see the ink well. (Took me a few seconds...)
