well if u use "include filename.t", when it gets to that line it will run all the code in that file and then come back to the one you are in. if there are procuders or varbiles decalred in it thous are add to the progame and can be accesed affter the include line.

for error profe menu with numbers only you can simply test if inputed num > minnum and num < maxnum. to check for if they put in a string insted of a num you can 1st take the input as a sting then do this:

code:

if strintok(tempNum) then %where tempNum is real string that should be a num

realNum = strint(tempNum) %where realNum is an int

else
put "error you did not put in a num"
end if


strintok checks to see if it can chage a string to a int and strint chages it to a int
