Ok, i have been trying to get the Setscreen and Getch statements working for awhile now but they wont work and it comes up with an error. ie when i put
setscreen ("nocursor") it comes up with an error

So can you please post how to use the Getch statement and if u can everything you can do with the setscreen statement

Thanks

Killa

You have to also set the mode of display, either graphics or text:

setscreen ("text")
setscreen ("graphics")

You then use colons and semicolons to add additional modes

setscreen ("graphics;nocursor")

You can also set the screen size with this:

setscreen ("graphics:800;600;nocursor")

Note: Not 100% sure about syntax, but the idea is the same.
