If I HAVE to do a draw.fillbox or whatever, can you guys give me the full command with X Y coordinates to fill the entire run window?  |

Two ways: Draw.FillBox(0,0,maxx,maxy,green) setcolourback(green) cls The second will make it so everytime you run cls, it automatically sets the backround to that colour.  |

To add a background colour to text, use Text.ColourBack(). Otherwise, you should be able to draw a filled box from (0,0) to (maxx,maxy).  |

It means that once the program reaches that line, the whole run window will be cleared of text, images, etc. qmanjr5 wrote: and how would i put setcolourback at the beginning of the whole code? before i declare vars and everything? You don't have to put it before declaring the variables, but only before the main body of your actual code. Ex.: var blah : int setcolourback (green) if blah = 0 then ha end if  |

setcolourback is only for text? or for the whole window? it's not working anyway.  |

Text.Colour(brightgreen) %Text Text.ColourBack(black) %BG alternatively you can also use: colour() colourback() or even drop the u and go with the american spelling.  |
