Hangman

-----------------------------------

Im trying to make a game of hangman to pass some of my boring time away. I know that i have to draw the hangman seperatly and import the lines when he guesses a character wrong, but im trying to set up the basic for structures. For example, i am going to ask the user to enter a word, then ask him to enter a clue that will be shown to the next person to guide him towards the right answer. I need to turn the actual answer into lines.. 

EG.

put "Please enter a word belonging to a specific category"
get answer :*
(example will use as circus)
cls
put "Now enter a clue to help the user figure out your word"
get clue :*
(Clue will be an entertaining show)
cls

                             (Circus turned into the appropriate # of _'s)
                                
                                 _ _ _ _ _ _
 
                   Clue: An Entertaining Show

Then off to the left/right i will have the man being drawn each time the user guesses a wrong letter, and have the letters he guessed wrong/right stored in a varible set up with an error trap incase the user enters the same letter twice. Just looking for some help on how i would go about those first few steps. thanks  :D

I'd help you but like everyone else, I've done hangman last year for when I first started programming, and found it the most annoying games in the world.  Use the search tool, I'm sure you'll find plenty.
