[Opensim-users] Floating text not going away

[Lindy McKeown]

Prims always remember floating text even  after the script creating it are
removed. So to remove you have to put nothing  in the floating text. Then it
will replace your time with nothing and remember that when you remove the
floating text  script. It allows you to label and unlabel items. Useful for
objects that give their contents so you don't also get the floating text
script given to you.
