I was going to respond to it but its been locked. Right now I only do basic, and I don't even know most of that, so I really know very little. Thanks in advance.

--- It is much easier to suggest solutions when you know nothing about the problem. |
Joemakerman Marine Posted: 15 Jan 2008 16:55 GMT Total Posts: 15 | Oh! As a variable, ok, thanks.
So its a little like lbl/goto, only its to a certain button, as opposed to a menu selection.
Thanks guys. |

how this relates to menu selections and lbl/gotos i dont see
if you think that when u press a key, that the calc automatically goes to a lbl with the matching key #, it doesn't |
Joemakerman Marine Posted: 16 Jan 2008 14:01 GMT Total Posts: 15 | No, like as in, when you make a Menu, the numbers follow the option, and then you lbl that number and add something, and when you push the number to select while running the program, it goes where ever you labeled it to go on that number.
Such as this, to where you push a button, such as 2nd, it does something, such as "shoot".
I didn't mean direct relation, more distant. Or maybe I just misunderstand the getkey thing. |

but u understand second doesn't "shoot" until you put the commands
:getkey->K :If K=21 (# for 2nd key) :SHOOT (or w/e) |

Joemakerman Marine Posted: 16 Jan 2008 18:49 GMT Total Posts: 15 | Thats true, I never thought of it that way. I was more thinking of the function. They both do something that furthers you into the program.
