How would you change the font so when the user inputs something instead of it being regular letters, the letters are in italics?

Use the Font.() module.

You can use Font.Draw in combination with getch(). When setting the new font, you would add ":Italic", like so: var getFont := Font.New ("Serif:12:Italic").

Another alternative, which will only work on the current computer you are working on, is to change the default put/get font in File -> Preferences -> Run Window -> Font Stuff.

Thanks for the help. But lets say I had a code like this:

code:

var name :string
get name
put name


What would I have to do in order to make the name the user enters is in italics?

Don't use put.

Oh, wait.
