I run the OS/2 version, but I still have 64K array size limits. Grrr... While I'm at it :) lemme let go this question for ya: I'm almost finished with my first Real Realizer program. I need it to popup SOME sort of INPUT or MessageBox with a number in it that is stored in a variable. Like n=333.3333 INPUT "The answers is",n,"; BUT, that specifically doens't work. But the idea of what I want. Any tips? Thanks! Quote: >R. M.

I'm no realizer expert, but I think your problem is the last comma and quote mark...they are not needed and will cause an error. The proper syntax should be as follows: INPUT "The answer is",n; Hope this helps! -- _____ \|\ /\| Justin MacLeod "Ice cream is a dish \| O \| University of New Brunswick best served cold"

You do something like INPUT Sprint("The answers is: ############.#########",finalsum) but as you might guess, the result is a dialog box saying The answers is: 333.35000000000 Ewww. :-) I must say I'm really liking CA-REalizer now. I think it is shameful how little information they give you on specifically HOW to program using a GUI. They give all the details in a very detailed fashion, but seems to (mostly) fail to explain HOW to program in a GUI. Sorta like the Windows 3.0 manual - it went on and on talking about PIFs, but failed to actually say what they were. But I think I've mostly got the hang of it now. That being said, I'd be more than happy to help other Realizer users stuck for now with non-GUI type programs. Send email, or better yet, post to bother the comp.lang.basic and alt.lang-ca-realizer newsgroups. BTW, does anyone knowif CA has an 'help' email address, or an FTP site for depositing and sharing programs?

It makes into a string alright, except that it makes it an integer, ie., no decimals. For now, I use Sprint. Sorta like PRINT USING Quote: >R. M.
