Thanks for the solution Bernie, but I've run into another prob:
sequence names,words
names =3D{'m','p','n'}
words=3D{'land','space'}
names works but words doesn't. It seems as soon as you add a letter to =
one of the ' ' names, it messes it up. What's wrong here?

Thomas:
wait_key only returns ONE ASCII character at a TIME.
You can only use a SINGLE character between single qoutes.
If you want to read the word land from the keyboard you
have to use the gets(0) function and then use the find function
to look for the SEQUENCE returned from the keyboard in
your words list.
I think that you need to look at the Library document for
each function that you are using and study the examples in
that document very carefully. Pay very close attention to
what wheather a function RETURNS a SEQUENCE, INTEGER etc and
what type of parameters it requires to use it.
I rather not write your code for you because I don't think
you will learn as much as if you write your own.
Your doing ok on your own so keep trying and use the Library
document to look up each function you use.
