Hmm. It's just really confusing. In BASIC and FORTRAN, you can have the program pause with a prompt for user input. This makes learning the languages easier - you can enter custom strings and values. I'm still in the early stages with perl, but at this point in the process I would have already seen something about how to do this... -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20518 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
