is there a reason y wen i mke a shape program y once i compile it and run it it automatically closes right once it loads. it does it so fast i cant even view it. why does it do that?? here is the code.
Quote:Cls
Screen 1
Circle (120, 52), 25, 5
Circle (75, 105), 25, 5
Line (21, 73)-Step(100, 0.5)
Line (75, 74)-Step(101, 0.5)
Print "blah blah"

It closes out because it's done... nice you're new to this, just try SLEEP, it'll work for now, but later when you learn about using keys, you'll need to take a step away from that...

WHILE INKEY$ <> "": WEND
WHILE INKEY$ = "": WEND
That should do it. (untested)

Another suggestion...if you run the program from a DOS window it won't close when finished.
