Can anyone tell me why the below doesn't work properly?
I Type Y and hit enter and it says that was not Y or N, same when pressing N (I could do a workaround using scancode or inkey$ I suppose, but I wanted to use the ASC(string) command (First time using it).
I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.

My first thoughts on looking are that is you have the wrong ASCII values, recalling from memory lower case a is 32...

run this:
print "y: "+str$(asc("y"))
print "Y: "+str$(asc("Y"))
print "n: "+str$(asc("n"))
print "N: "+str$(asc("N"))
wait key

I think this does what you want, and is much simpler.

Yeh, thankyou, that is simpler, I have thrown in EXIT1$ = UPPER$(EXIT1$) just to cut down on the if and, or, etc statements.
