Why the heck doesnt this work!??!!? It works fine in DB1, but not DB pro, I\\\'m really tearing my hair out here. Basically, functions refuse to work, this for example, does absolutely nothing, a window pops up and then disappears, no \\\"hello world\\\", no nothing. What. The. Hell?!?!?!

REM Start of program
DO
BetterPrint(10, 10, \\\"Hello world\\\")
END
LOOP

FUNCTION BetterPrint(x, y, t$)
SET CURSOR x,y
PRINT t$
ENDFUNCTION

You dont seem to know much about programming structure or programming in general as of yet. If you read through your code, it would print the text fine, and then end the program. Instead of End you should have Sync. That mistake alone tells me you really need to go back to the extreme basics in programming, and read through the tutorials again.

Ah sorry that was a misprint, I figured it out in the end, it was actually a software problem, sorry about that. Yeah I migrated from DB1, so I do know the language, I'm just getting to grips with the new TYPE stuff, rather groovy. In all the games I ever made with DB1, I always craved object oriented (I am quite practised in C++ and SDL), and DBpro is at least halfway there...
