Hey all,

Well I've been trying to implement an input Character Name sorta thing for my game, and quite frankly I'm stuck.
I've defined Strings for all the letters in the alphabet, however I'm having difficulity splicing the letters together into a coherent form:

Char1_Name$ = "Eyrilus"
a$ = "a"
etc etc...


::After a input checks and the like it adds what ever key that got pressed...

Char1_Name$ = a$ + Char1_Name$
Text 300, 300, Char1_Name$

This just is not cutting the mustard. The output is the same after I added the 'a$'. I'm sure its a simple syntax error or something, or I'm doing something else wrong...errr any idea's? Please do be gentle I am 'sorta' a newbie.
