its all about the spacing and drawing tables with lines

heh...

you just stick :# at the end of string, where # is the size it will become (it will add spaces at the end of output).

here's an example

var name,age,other:string
name :="tony"
age :="17"
other := "compsci.ca"

put "| name | age | other         |"
put "|",name:6,"|",age:5,"|",other:15,"|"

and if you want to make it look realy nice, you can use drawline . If you want to learn more about drawline, open turring, type drawline, then hit F9. When i get home i can show you a score card i made for a Yahtzee game, its prety close to a report card.

maxx is a constant, you dont have to declear it.

as for drawing columns... You just have to figure out X/Y positions where you want to draw your lines. Using Font.Draw for your text will also help you greatly, as you'll be controling both X/Y position of the text and it's font size.

    drawline (0, 288, maxx, 288, red)
    drawline (0, 271, maxx, 271, red)
    drawline (0, 256, maxx, 256, red)
    drawline (0, 222, maxx, 222, red)
    drawline (0, 207, maxx, 207, red)
    drawline (0, 191, maxx, 191, red)
    drawline (0, 175, maxx, 175, red)
    drawline (0, 159, maxx, 159, red)
    drawline (0, 143, maxx, 143, red)
    drawline (0, 127, maxx, 127, red)
    drawline (0, 111, maxx, 111, red)

funny.. Gaughan  ... the one we made in class... he wants tables and stuff...not Flaming CjGaughan (we in same class)....the marks.t is good for finding out the marks. maybe he can integrate into the yatzee score card so it puts data into tables....also if you want some nice line effects check out the turing Help under ASCII code... it has some line things like 
double lines and corners.... or Check out your Character map program in Windows... found under your start menu, in acessories...., in font Terminal.... it will show some cool stuff you can make in turing with the right ASCII codes....:D
