ok i need to get the program to work right so that the 1st page goes ******************************************* This is the grade averageing for Sandlewood Press 1 for 1st semester Press 2 for 2nd semester Press Q for neither (quit) ************************************* i got the message all on my lines but i can't get the input to work right... i know you need a input for the please press 1,2 or Q to work right... i got the input to be 100 print "Please Press a (1,2, or Q) and enter";:input A but then what? i need to let A = 1,2,q and each would lead to a different part of the whole program... This is like a menu ... also i need to know how to get the "For T=..." to work right like the part that has "Please Press a (1,2, or Q) and enter" i need it to repeat 4 times if somebody does not press those 3 choice (its a error trap i need to know how to get those to work) and after the 4th time it'll repeat itself... i know you'll need to use For T= .... then Next T but where and how? if this doesn't explain the problem right tell me i'll try to explain better... thanks a lot in advances guys... =)

sorry for the ************** ********** part i got it wrong it should go ****************************************** 1 for 1st semester 2 for 2nd semester Q for neither (quit) Please Press a (1,2, or Q) and enter ******************************************

Input A cannot processs both numeric and string input. You may use input 1, 2 or 0 to quit.

The FOR NEXT loop surrounds the input and checking process. eg. 95 For t=1 to 4 100 print "enter choice";Input a$ 110 If a$="1" then goto 160 120 If a$ = "2" then goto 170 130 If a$ = "q" then end 140 print "please enter a correct value" 150 next t 160 rem ** From entering 1 170 rem ** From entering 2 As you see in line 100, Input a$ lets you enter any char on keyboard, error checking is done by checking if a$= "Whatever you type in".

ok but for line 130 i don't need to end i need it to go to another screen that says "are you sure you want to quit" i know how to do that but the thing is whenever i press 1 or 2 and after the calculation it goes the the end screen too so what should i do? put it at the front part of my program? and for line 120 If a$ = "2" then goto 170 i need it to incoperate the stuff from 1 because 2 is a full year which has 4 grading period which i put MP1,MP2,MP3,MP4,and a final exam.. while 1 is only half year and it only has MP1,MP2, and final exam... do i need to loop somewhere?

This not in respose to your problem !! I have a larger one .. I have over 300 gwbasic programs written w/win 95. Have transferred them all to my new DELL w/windows XP. They execute fine .. however, the screen won't resize and more importantly, I can't list programs or print program results. Can you point me in the right direction for help? Thanks .. Jerry
