What i mean is, if i input a picture into my program using the "PicDraw" function, how do i make that image move. And by move, i mean how do i assign the arrow keys to move it?

In the turing docs (http://compsci.ca/holtsoft/doc/), look up:

Input.Keydown
Pic.Draw
cls
View.Set (offscreenonly section)
View.Update

The input.Keydown page should give you a good idea on how to use arrow keys to do things. Then, to animate the picture, follow this format:

loop
calculate new picture coords
draw picture
View.Update
cls
end loop

Let me know if you have more questions!
