First you want to use code snips if you're entering code into a message. Type the following minus the spaces between the brackets:

Do it right and we see this (just click on the box):


With INPUT you only use one variable at the end otherwise it will think you want to print to the screen the variables that come before the last variable.

When you do this:


It shows on the screen "Enter Number:1" and waits for the user to input var2. The user will always see a 1 they never entered (because before INPUT you have var1=1). If they hit 3 they'll see 13 as the menu choice.

SELECT statements are there for multiple choices. Creating 5 different SELECT/ENDSELECTs and looking for the variable var won't work because the INPUT command makes var2 equal whatever the user types so looking for var will never find the menu choices. Any variable that is used for the first time without being defined will always equal zero.

A SELECT/ENDSELECT should be done like this:


Also when you have SYNC ON it doesn't update the screen till it sees a SYNC... so when you PRINT something to the screen and have a WAIT KEY right after it the user won't see the text because there's no SYNC after the PRINT. Not using SYNC ON will always update the screen any time something changes.

When you use a DO/LOOP it keeps doing just what's within that DO/LOOP. So after the user types in the number and hits enter it goes by all the SELECT/ENDSELECTs then gets trapped in the DO/LOOP forever.

Inside the DO/LOOP you have it looking for the keys 1 through 4 and using the INC command. What INC does it adds to a variable... so if the user hits the 2 key it'll add 2 to the variable var. When the user hits 4 it adds another 4 to var. Because it's looping so fast var gets to be a huge number pretty quickly.

Try running this by itself to see what it's doing (hit the keys 1 through 4 of course):


Don't get discouraged by all the wrongness of your program. We all have to start somewhere.
