Thanks for the welcome.
Another question that may seem silly, are the function keys usable just that same as all other keys?
How do i tell QBasic to begin another SUB on the press of F1 for example?
Thanks for your help

to get all key codes check this tutorial
http://www.petesqbsite.com/sections/tut ... ycodes.txt
but this should work
Code: Select all
key$=""
do
key$=inkey$
loop until key$<>""
if key$=CHR$(0) + CHR$(59) then CALL yoursub

CALL isn't required; it's mainly in there for compatibility reasons.

there are two ways to create a SUB or FUNCTION,
(A) using the menu bar you would touch Alt, E, S.
(B) just writing a line in the editor this way
SUB yourname (parameter)
and then just press Enter.
to go in and out the SUBs and FUNCTIONs press F2.

I don't think that's what he was asking Atrapado...
But anyway, just use that tutorial in the first reply, dude.
