1. Newbie type question

Heya. I got a question, but i'm probably going to whap myself upside the
head when I realize how simple the answer probaby is, but anyways...
when in a for loop, how would you get the number to display? Ex:

for i = 1 to 20 do
    puts(SCREEN, name)
end for

Now, assuming that 'name' has already been inputted above, how would you
display i each time it loops?

Thanks

Use printf. See the documentation in library.doc, but basically, it's:
printf(SCREEN,"i = %d",{i})

You can put in lots of %(whatever) combinations so you could have a
string and i so
sequence strings
integer i
...
printf(SCREEN,"string #%d = %s",{i,strings[i]})

You can also put in other format stuff and library.doc explains all the
possible combinations.

Try This:

sequence name
name = "Albert"
for i = 1 to 20 do
printf(1, "%d:%s\n", {i, name})
end for

Umm.
for i = 1 to 10 do
  ? i
end if
--OR
for i = 1 to 10 do
  print(1, i)
  puts(1, 10)
end if
