Morning Duncan, Hopefully I'm remembering my FOR..NEXT..END FOR syntax correctly, but the following looks remarkably suspicious :
9472 FOR i=1 TO scrolls 9474 Dev_Scroll_down 9476 IF dv_start<=1 :END FOR i 9478 END FOR i I think it should be : 9472 FOR i=1 TO scrolls 9474 Dev_Scroll_down 9476 IF dv_start<=1 TEHN NEXT i : END IF 9478 END FOR i I can't remember off hand if Turbo is happy with no end ifs on a single line IF, so I've always put them in myself, even in SuperBaisc interpreted programs. I also assume that if DV_STARTS is 1 or less that you want to go around the loop again and not exit from the loop itself. If you did want to bale out early, then line 9467 would change to : 9476 IF dv_start<=1 THEN EXIT i : END IF Basically, and if I remember correctly, a For loop looks like this : FOR variable = start TO finish STEP step do stuff IF condition THEN EXIT variable : END IF : REM - Early exit IF other_condition THEN NEXT variable: END IF : REM - Reloop early do other stuff END FOR variable Cheers, Norman. _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
