Re: How do I get this program to ask more than one question?

I had difficulty getting your program to run correctly for the first question,
as it blanked both question and answers in about 5-10 seconds.
I think your problem with not working for subsequent questions was in
"Next_Question", where you ran thru repaint the three windows THREE TIMES,
which looks unnecessary.
But since I couldn't figure out why it was blanking for me, I just rewrote it
as follows, using LABELS instead of CHILD WINDOWS. That doesn't give the look
you had, but it does work. (the one thing I for some reason couldn't get to work
right was blanking the "Okay" button after it was pressed, so as to just make it
visible when an answer was selected, dunno why it wouldn't stay invisible)
oh, and you'll want to use a spell checker in your final version:
APPROXAMENTALY should be approximately (I had to use spell checker to get
it right here).
