word$="hello"
print word$



I'd like to use a numeric array

dim num(3)
num(0)=0
num(1)=1
num(2)=5
num(3)=10

etc...

to shorten this code. Could anyone point me in the right direction?

I think you need to look at loops and endwhile statements
start with a for / next command



do you mean something like this?

If no-one gives your an answer to a question you have asked, consider:- Is your question clear.- Did you ask nicely.- Are you showing any effort to solve the problem yourself 

Thanks Grog!
I understand it now that someone's put the code in front of me!
I've had a go at for/next, already, but couldn't seem to get it to work. You're a great help.
I've re-edited to code to take the text out of (large texted) graphics mode. Here it is...

n.b. I'm using DBPv5.9
