Ugh. I'm feeling terribly n00bish, but I've come across an error I don't think I've ever met before. A 'stack overflow' error, or something of the sort. Everything else works fine, I'd just really appreciate it if someone could point out the problem to me. Thanks a ton, everyone, especially for putting up with n00bs like me.

I think it is the way your program runs. It is bad to goto a sub then goto another sub from in that sub. It keeps pilling stuff on the stack. If it works like QBASIC that is. Try changing them to goto instead of gosub and see if that helps. That would be a easy fix but to do it right I think you need to break them down into smaller subs that always returns to where it jumped from. Or you can use functions. But I'm sort of a newbie myself. When I started programming to always return from a sub I stopped getting that error.

That's what I was thinking, or something along that line, but the definition of goto where it says 'cannot return' has always intimidated me... I'll give it a try anyway. Thanks!

It is best to stay away from goto for sure. You just need to break down your subs so that every gosub always has a return.
