Variable Handling in a QB Scripter?

I'm curious on how you guys think you might handle variables in a scripting language made in Qb? So far I don't feel like I've come up with any great amazing ways and I'm looking for some fresh ideas :)

Okay, thanks. SUB font (text$, X%, Y%, clr%) X% = X% - 7 ...

Resetting Array Data?

Okay, I'm programming a GUI and I want to make a routine for closing a window that would reset all it's array data like it never existed. This way it could be taken the place of by a new window. How could I do this?

Memory Use

I know there's a limit to how much memory you can use in Qb, but is there a way to check how much you're using?

Variable handling?

I need to know how I can not lose the value of a variable when leaving a sub, so that I can go back to it and access that value again.

Graphics...

I need a way to copy a selected part of the screen, and then put it back in. It also needs to be able to clip, hold an image as big as 640x480 and has to be fast... so GET/PUT might not really cut it. Any ideas?

Rounded Rectangles?

Does anyone know how to do this in Qbasic? I've seen it before. It's probably something ridiculously easy... If you don't know, I mean the rectangles with rounded edges, like the buttons in MacOS and stuff like that.

okay let me try to explain better

Top means the ID of the window is in Array(1). So, window #3 is in Array(1), someone clicks on window #8, which was previously in Array(4) - Array(1) now equals 8 and Array(2) now equals 3, whatever was in Array(2) before moves to Array(3), and Array(3) moves into Array(4) to fill the space that win...

Simple array question

Alright, I have an array that's like... Array(1 to 30) as Integer I want to use it to keep track of the Z-Order of windows in a GUI. So, the idea is each of the elements of that array hold an ID number of a given window, the top one being 1. What I'm looking to do, is a way to put the ID of the wind...

QuickBasic for Mac?

Anyone know of possibly some version of QB for Mac System 6? I think Microsoft may have released QuickBasic 1.0 for it... but I cant find it online. Also, if anyone knows where I can get VBDOS or VB's that run under Win 3.1 that'd be cool too... thanks!

Making a Qbasic GUI

Alright, I decided to start at the windowing system and mouse. Since that seems like a good start to any Qbasic GUI. The problem I'm having is, I need to figure out a way to define windows as such so that I can detect mouseclicks for them so I can move them around... and then set up some kind of a z...

I really like Fedora Core 4. Easy to install, learn, great community support from www.fedoraforum.org and easy to update/find programs for. It's what became of "Redhat Linux". I don't even use Windows anymore except for certain programs.
