As a BASIC beginner I am looking for tutorials and if there are any BASIC beginners out there they may find these YouTube videos useful. The only problem is they are for Commodore BASIC, however the techniques explained are still relevant. I was looking for an input routine came across a suitable tutorial by Jay Versluis on his YouTube Channel which gives a succinct explanation of coding an input routine. Below is my attempt at converting Jay’s program to GW-BASIC which limits the input to the characters...

Ezio, I am afraid I don't know the solution to your problem either, however you may find the solution in the online GW-BASIC User Guide here. You will also find more GW-BASIC resources here which I am sure you will find helful.

Hi Dave, Just glad I could help you out.

Dave, This may be the ultimate solution for you as far as implementing the mouse in GW-BASIC. It comes from this page. Here is the listing: 1 KEY OFF: CLS 2 SCREEN 9 3 FUNK = 1: GOSUB 200 4 FUNK = 3: GOSUB 200 5 LOCATE 1,1: PRINT B,H,V 6 IF B = 1 THEN PSET(H,V),14 7 IF B = 2 THEN CLS 8 IF B = 3 OR INKEY$ <>"" THEN GOTO 10 9 GOTO 3 10 FUNK =2: GOSUB 200: END 199 'Start of Mouse Sub-routine 200 POKE 0,184: POKE 1,FUNK: POKE 2,0 201 POKE 3,205: POKE 4,51: POKE 5,137 202 POKE 6,30: POKE 7,170: POKE 8,10...

Okay, I will have a go with it using GW-BASIC and report back. Stuart
