Hi, I´m new to DBPro and I am experiencing a small issue which I don´t know it is normal or not. Every time I run a small program like that PRINT "HELLO WORLD" thing or something like that the program window just "flashes". It opens, runs and closes very quickly. Wasn´t the program supposed to remain on screen after it finishes to run? and then return to the DBPro screen only if I pressed ESC? I hope I made myself clear enough, if not, ask away.

Thanks anyway.

use the command "wait key" at the end of the program. that will make the program wait until you press a key

Here is something might help might not


[start of program]
print "hello world"
[end of program]

that does only the printing of "hello world" it has nothing to suspend it after that.

[start of program]
print "hello world"
wait key
[end of program]

This will wait for user input before exiting.

[start of program]
Do
print "hello world"
loop
[end of program]

This is an infinite loop. It will continually repeat the code between do and loop until broken by the user or an exit command. With the print command every time you use it the cursor is moved down one line. So this will fill the entire left side of the screen with "hello world"

Hope that helps. if not catch me on rgt or there are plenty of smart people here.

Or you could do this...

Do
cls
text 10,10,"hello world"
loop

This will print at screen coordinates 10,10 only.

This, on the other hand, is quite quite wrong and even slightly evil:

do
loop
print "Otiose"

What do you mean, bears aren't supposed to wear hats and a tie?
