Well assuming it works (I can't test it), then congratulations, you've just gotten a little better at programming. That being said, this program is kind of useless..

common people are walking in line.

I ust tried your 'finished' code and I think finished is the wrong word to use.

There are quotes missing on three lines and commands out of place. There may be more problems but having corrected 6 and it still failing I gave up.

And whats with all the dimensioned arrays of 1. You are only ever using the second value (1) and ignoring the zero dimension. So, why not just use variables?

I couldn't compile it either as Scraggler said.

And the reason for doing this is that arrays is used to held more data together, instead of declaring alot of variables, which is really great. But when you only use the second dimension, then you use them like a variable. And therefore you have no reason to declare a whole new array.

Keep it up though

I think he means as in dim arrayname(1). Which is only 1 unit of memory. So yo may as well have variablename=
