is it possible to use variables in using Font.Draw, example below, ebcause what i've done so far here i can't get to work Confused

code:

var name:string
var FontID : int := Font.New ("Arial:12:bold")
Font.Draw ("Please Enter your name...", 0, maxy-20, FontID, green)
locate (3,1)
get name
put "Thanks"
delay (500)
cls
Font.Draw ("Shall we begin " ,name, "?", maxx div 2, maxy div 2 , FontID, green)

you cant use maxx div 2 as an integer value. Any div operation results in a double (real) value. You'd have to round it
code:

round(maxx div 2)

wha??! Eh
using div will divide and truncate. therefore integer div integer will give yet another integer; no rounding necessary!

it doesnt work the same way was put does. See those commas? It actually things that the variable name is the next argument for the function, so it gets confused. You should use + sign instead to add strings together.

code:

"Shall we begin " + name + "?"
