Hi. I have recently found QBasic Ver.4.5 and am converting progs written in GWBasic. Got message "Line too long" but can't find what max length is (could it be 256?). Also does anyone know of on-line downloadable manuals for 4.5? (not tutorials).
Have had lots of "fun" reading the forum Q&A. Am not very experienced programmer, in my day Cobol was king and RPG2 was queen (circa 1960's) ::)

Re: New boy on the Block.
Well, ur close, only 255 on a line, but, its must be multiple commands
so, for regular commands, just put them on thier own lines
but for an IF statement with a lot of then and/or else stuff,
IF
blah
blah
END IF
**OR**
IF
blah
blah
ELSE
blah
blah
END IF
Goodluck!

Re: New boy on the Block.
When I first started to program I had the same problem when it came to all the turdulant tutorials. I have, quit honestly, never found anything good. I when down to the liberery and got some good books there. And that's about it. Try going to Microsoft's FTP, it is full of old suff and a lot of it is realy good. I don't know its addresse, but when you download "LeapFTP" from <download.com> it comes in the addresse book.
