Printing Source code
#1
Hey guys

Is there any specific trick to printing your source code direct from qbasic? I thought it ought to be as simple as saying File - Print
My computer just stops responding when I do, is this something wrong with my computer, me or QBASIC?

Also, sometimes when I run QuickBasic, my flashing cursor will just dissapear from the editor, and nothing I can do can bring it back? Anyone with any idea on how to fix this?

Keep up the good work
Thnx

Maybe your printer is not compatible or is not configured to work in MSDOS. Just save your program as a text file, and open it in any text editor (notepad, wordpad and such) then print it from there.

Hm... did you click in the window? I never lose my cursor if windoze doesn't crash...

The cursor problem is because you are running QB in a window. NEVER RUN DOS PROGRAMS IN A WINDOW!!! Press ALT+ENTER and you'll be in full screen mode.

i always run Qbasic in a window and the only time iever lose my cursor is occasioanilly when i dont put an END at the end of my prog or when some of my vairables still equal zero or NULL
to solve that problem just press F8 and it should 'unfreeze'
