yes...to help make sure there's no tabs or spaces at the beginning of the lines...

1. Select what you want to copy from notepady.
2. Bring forth the QB IDE window (not maximized)
3. Right click on the title part of the window when not maximized.
4. Select the Edit menu (near the bottom) and then select the Paste option.

you'll see your text appear in QB

You can also just save the .txt file and open it up in QBasic. QBasic can open any plain ASCII text file. If you want, you can also save the Notepad document with a .bas extension.

That's true pete....I was going to suggest that...but I just thought of what if you wanted to copy it into a program that's aready there, or don't want to MAKE a file... :roll: :D
