I am not really that much of a "newcomer", but I can't find, or figure this out.

I am trying to print a defined string,

And then use TEXT to display it.

The location works for my integers, using int$(money).
How do I display the string? Everything I try, it returns 0 where it is supposed to be.

Sorry for Noob question.


EDIT: Solved. I fixed it somehow. But if anyone Googles how to do this, put a dollar(string) sign($) after every time you declare or use it.
Eg.
stringa$="wazzup"
TEXT 0,0,stringa$

From what I can gather, its just string1$
But that returns a blank.

Yes, a normal variable name is by default initialized as an integer, a prefix of '#' denotes a float and '$' a string.
You can use variable names without prefixes by declaring them yourself like so:
