Well I have taken a break from working on my text editor. So I decided
to play around with the socket functions. I was trying to open a
socket to a text game so that I could read the login page I can get it
in to the text field and the page will show up in the field but it
will have a little square box at the left hand side of the field on
every line. How would I get rid of that? This is what I did to connect
to the socket

I think the little square is an ASCII number that doesn't actually have a corresponding alpha numeric character. When getting data from different systems that have different line delimiters and such-like, you get this sort of thing. Probably the easiest solution would be to insert a loop to remove them after "put it into tVar":

on mouseUp
  open socket "theseahaven.com:5500"
  read from socket "theseahaven.com:5500" for -1
  put it into tvar
  repeat for each line L in tVar
    put char 2 to -1 of L & cr after nVar
  end repeat
  delete last char of nVar --- clear trailing cr
  put nVar in to field 1
end mouseUp
