Meaining, how do i make a sub program appear when the user clicks on the text ie) Click HERE to start

????
Stupid question, I know.

well i dunno if u can clikc on the word, the mods can verify that, but u can draw a box. then u use a command (that i forgot) that can track the location of the mouse. Once the mouse clicks inside the box, and u have an if statement that checks if the moouse click is inside the box, then it'll probably work

Mouse.Where(x,y,b)

it assigns mouse position to variables x and y. B tells you if it was clicked or not.

you check if mouse locations is inside the rectangle boundy and if button is also clicked (b=1) then it was pressed and you shoudl continue.

i think this is what u want

code:

var mx, my, mb : int var col : int locate (10, 10) color (9) put "click here to start" loop     mousewhere (mx, my, mb)     if mb not= 0 then         if whatdotcolor (mx, my) not= white then             var winID := Window.Open ("position:top;center,graphics:200;200")             cls             put "you just started it"             exit         end if     end if     if whatdotcolor (mx, my) not= white then         color (12)     else         color (9)     end if     locate (10, 10)     put "click here to start"     delay (5) end loop

this one uses text collision detection so u have to be exactly on the letters for it to work...
