To remove all text from the screen, use the CLS command.

If you just want to clear part of it, you can also use the BOX command to draw over the text, but you probably are looking for CLS.

Sorry about that, TDK...

I have on more question. Can an If... Endif command contain another set of if... Endifs? for example:



Can I do that or will the 1st endif cancel out the main if

No, you can do that.

I assume you mean to say "yes"?

Anyways, yes, it is definitely possible. But nesting it too much (but that would have to be a lot) can make your code look ugly.

I believe the "No" was in response to the last question asked:

Quote: "Can I do that or will the 1st endif cancel out the main if "


Still rather ambiguous though.

Anyway, to make this post somehow remain relevant to the thread, a tip with that is that if you find yourself with too many nested if-thens, that's usually a sign that there is a better way to do it.
