LOOPS, QB64, QB4.5. and dos
Posted: Sat Jul 31, 2010 2:50 pm
Actually a few questions....
1. Although in various tutorials there is a lot on loops I cannot figure
out ...I just want to make it loop (repeat) 5 times (for example)...
I thought it would be simple...DO
PLAY "abcdefg"
I want it to repeat 5 times...so what next?
UNTIL 5 is not correct...,after it repeats 5 times, , it would go to next block, if any......hope I make sense....yes I found ones Until a key is entered, or other ,but I just want it repeat x-nmbr of times, then move on.
Ok
2. I have just started useing qb64, I installed it in my windows(XP),...program files? mine is spanish,so archivos de programa...
and it works fine, how ever I cannot use the spanish keyboard How
do I change that? if I can it is cause in spanish we use !? ?? and also ?
and these don't type when I use qb64..I guess if I did it in note pad...
I just thought of that now...but it it still would be nice if I can do it directly
in the editor....
3. I have the QB4.5 in my Dos partition, also I like it very much ...
Should I also have it the windows, with qb64...or not neccesary..
it appears not to be neccessary..I had put the old QBASIC, off of DOS 7.1 into the windows C:\ directry, as windowXP did not have it....up untilnow I did not use windows much....strictly dos....ecause of the
problems of windows not being able to handle dos stuff, or only with Dos Box, and that is real limited...this QB64 is opening up a new world to me.
Ok guess thas it, and pleased to meet everyone here, Petessite has open up a new world for me too.
