Dont Know Why This is Wrong

Hi, I am Attempting to make a Thick Line move from left to right to the midddle of the screen. I entered This code and it does not show the arm at all, can somebody offer any suggestions as to why it is doing this?

Turing:
var arm : int


process movingarm
arm:=160
for counte:160..400
arm:=arm+1
Draw.ThickLine (1, 200,arm, 200, 30, 49)
delay (50)
Draw.ThickLine (1, 200,arm, 200, 30, 0)
end for
end movingarm


Mod Edit: Fixed the syntax tags
code:
[syntax="turing"]Your code actually goes in here[/syntax]

never use process, at least not in turing, For anything other then music.
for that process to work you need to call it by using
code:

fork movingarm

Don't use processes in Turing. Only use it for background music. Processes are extremely buggy and unreliable in Turing. Why not just put it in a procedure instead?

e.g.
Turing:
var arm : int

proc movingArm
arm:=160
for counte:160..400
arm:=arm+1
Draw.ThickLine (1, 200,arm, 200, 30, 49)
delay (50)
Draw.ThickLine (1, 200,arm, 200, 30, 0)
end for
end movingArm

movingArm
