is there any way to take like a for-next loop and turn the current value into a string?

maybe i need to check if a,b,c,d... to say k were equal to a certain vaule, could i use a for-next loop in this scenario?

You could store the values in arrays then use the for and next loop.

As in current value, you mean an integer variable?

If so, I would store them in an array and cycle through them, and use the STR$() command. i.e.

sounds like you want ascii() and char$()
ASCII is how characters are stored in a computer, every symbol has a number (ie A=65).
ascii(n$) gives you the ascii value of n$, i think it only does one character though.
chr$(n) will convert an ascii value into the corresponding character.

Do you mean something like

then no you can't. The variable "a" and ascii character "a" are not the same thing, ie if you declare a=5 you aren't actually changing the value of the letter a.

peculiury though i seem to remember you can state 2=1 and use 2 as if it it were a 1

oh you mean like labels?

YEAh that would work, i used to put all my variables in the same array and do that
i've found it much easier to use separate arrays though.
