The Inkey routine was an example of a subroutine I use a lot.  It's pretty=

basic, so it was a suitable example.  And I never use GOTO, GOSUB, nor
RETURN.  I use DECLARE SUB, SUB ... END SUB.  It looks exactly like your=

Procedure thingy, except it uses the word SUB.  I can't remember what that=

other language called them.  But it's all the same.

The problem I've been running in to is rather simple.  I say 'Include
Graphics.E'  It says 'Okay.'  I say 'Graphics_Mode(260)'  It says something=

about Graphics_Mode {a subroutine graphics.e} is not defined or something t=
o
that affect.  The include statement as first.  Include always comes first.=
=20=20
Oddly, I don't like it in QB, because I tend to like dabbling with my
subroutines. {Blushes} There also seems to be these kinds of little quirks=

that I run in to, too. {Blushes more}

Love & Friendship & Blessed Be!
