The print loop should print 40 times, but prints only 4 times - it prints px,1 thru px,4 but only for py,10 -- any idea what is wrong? I have other loops similar which work fine. I appreciate any help.
[/code]
rem the following is just to verify player card values are correct
function Display_Player_Cards()
for px = 1 to 4 step 1
for py = 1 to 10 step 1
set cursor 0,0
print "px ",px
print "py ",py
print PlayerCards(px,py)
sync
next py
wait key
next px
endfunction
[code]

You seem to have put your code tags in the wrong order - the one with the slash goes last.

Anyway, your SET CURSOR command seems to be the problem. During the PY loop, it resets the cursor to 0,0 each time, so the new result overwrites the old one on the screen. Thus, you only see the last result (py=10)

I moved the cursor command to the top and got the same result. Any other ideas? I got the result I wanted by changing the code to print each value for x such as (x,1),(x,2) to (x,10) and the the results I wanted but I don't know why the for y loop doesn't give me the correct results.

Where exactly did you move the cursor command? Can you post the new code?

Rather than use print, why not use the text command?

You could use:

First you Dream, then you ... - Neil Gaiman, 2001

I found it. I set the wait key command after the py loop so I only got to see every tenth one. Thank you all for your help.
