I'm trying to use forward for some procedures that i later want to define.
so i believe that's the right command,
but it gives errors and the command explanation on F10 doesn't help either.
Can u guys guide me or link some tutorial
thanks

'forward' is pretty tricky to work around. It appears to work quite nicely for very simple programmes, but in my experiece when a programme was made that was a little complicated (procedures reciprocally calling each other), things got out of hand and Turing didn't like it.
Unless you have a very, very good reason for having to 'forward' your procedures, just sort them out and code them using Turing's limiting fashion...

Why is forward hard, Delos I don;t get your meaning, using them is sooooooooo... simple and easy.

Like this

code:
forward procedure foo

body procedure foo

end foo


they don't get out of hand unless you try and call like ... let me to a test!

Edit: I couldn't find an problem, I tryed a few situations and I did't find and cofusion problems with it. Also I use it for when I do everything and I have never had a problem. If there is a problem its in his code, post your code let me see it.

me = don't get it why would you need the foreward proc command... should i jsut read the tutorial?

I don't recall ever saying anything about its difficulty. What I did say was that I encountered various levels of instability while using it at one point. Perhaps I'll try to reconstruct the error...it was a long time ago though.

Anyway, as you said, if we're to help Reza more, they should post at least a snippet of their code.

[in reference to your new Topic 'reasons', which you could ask a Mod to delete for you and.]

Perhaps you could post the specific error that Turing gives you. Someone might have seen it before.
