Heh.

You'll get this eventually, so I'll just get it out of the way: either upgrade to 4.0.5 or use a different (freely available) language.

I have Truing 4.0.5 but my school only has 3.1.1
soo.. back to my question

It's so funny, schools insist on teaching obsolete versions of obsolete languages.

Why does the school board not go with a freely available, easy to learn language?

Anyway, yes, you can use those commands with 3.1.1

Thats what i said, but anyways thank you

w00t out

Quoted from a post I made at ArsTechnica:

Quote:

I love it when schools decide to teach a particular language because it's "the industry standard", then proceed to teach it in a completely non-standard way.

Or when they develop their own (typically half-assed) custom language because "C++ (or Java) is too complex" for first year students, utterly ignoring the wealth of other languages out there, or dismissing them "because they aren't industry standard tools".
