Perhaps you could show us more of your code? From what I can see, nothing should be wrong here. Also, please use [ code][/code] tags when posting code. Another thing, could you show us the test data that you are using? It makes it hard if we have nothing to go on.

I was late 4 my class so didn't really get the use of asterisk... 

The :* allows Turing to 'get' an entire line of input, not just up to the first space character.  For example, when the user inputs "hello, I like cheese" in the following pieces of code:

var word : string
get word
put word

will print "hello,"
and:

var word: string
get word :*
put word

will print "hello, I like cheese"
