How do you recieve and print to the screen a net message sent by another user, here is the code i have for it so far:

+ Code Snippet

do
PERFORM CHECKLIST FOR NET players
 cls
 for T=1 to checklist quantity()
 print T;" ";Checklist string$(T)
 next T

 if spacekey() ; input ">",mes$
 send net message string 0,mes$
   if net message exists()
      get net message
      print mes$
   endif
 endif
 print mes$
loop

Thanks

Your friend in a different area?
If so, I've had the same problem and it's almost always related to firewall. You'll have to check on your firewall settings and do some port mapping, probably.

Sorry to be a bit extreme with this.

THIS IS THE WRONG FORUM

Two strings walk into a bar. I'll have a pint says the first$%ASLDJ09920D"$"$D. Excuse my friend says the second, he isn't null terminated.
