Most newer programmers do not DIM all of their variables, especially if they are just experimenting. There is absolutely nothing wrong with type suffixes. Look in any book on Basic!
As for the fleas, I must have got them from you! What kind of animal are you anyhow? They are easy to spot on my thin shiny body.

That's a pretty gross assumption. You have no idea if a coder, even a "new one", has a background in C, for example, where type suffixes do not exist and are widely considered to be horrible style. Furthermore, I've probably read more books on BASIC than you ever will.

I'm a troll-eating dragon. But I generally use the thin ones like you as toothpicks.
Yeah I got my answer,but I found a better solution and jsut use LINE. (Im making a library with buttons and text boxes etc.) But im having another problem and its with the COLOR and LOCATE command.
You can set index 0 to be a different color, but that affects all the pixels of the "background" so that might not be what you want. Ultimately, what you probably would want to do is write your own text function if you want fancy text.
Even if Lee had the background option, ALL of the background would be changed. However, with 256 color attributes, you can always change parts to other color shades using different attribute numbers.
PRINT will still have the default black attribute 0 behind the text however.
I have an interrupt Function that can change the text background color also.
Do I hear an echo in here or did N just tell you the same thing that Mac already said?
