Well, the code that you do have would be a start. so we can have an idea of what you are TRYING to do. Post again and I will try to help

There's no problem so large it can't be solved by killing the user off, deleting their files, closing their account and reporting their REAL earnings to the IRS.

There are many tutorials about DBC and DBP. If they aren't enough you can always get the book.

Print "Hello!"

This prints a string of text of the screen.
Print (Then in "", what you want printed)

Now try running the program. You will see a flicker on the screen, and then it will end the program. Why? You need to put in a Do Loop statment to loop a part of the program. So, here it is:

Do
Print "Hello!"
Loop

"Do" starts the loop
And "Loop" Ends it

Do
If UpKey()=1 then print "You pressed the up button!"
Loop

This makes it so if UpKey (the up key) = 1 (=1 means if it is pressed) then print text. So it basicly means if the upkey = 1(If it is pressed_ then print the text "You pressed the up button!"

Input "Hello! Type something in: "

If your fimliar with DOS, then this will be easy. If not, what this does is makes it so the user can type in something.

Input (Text to be displayed in "")

this is good if you were to put it together in a bunch of tutorials, and then add some more, and make a small game and explain all the code this would be worth of a sticky!

John "Dark Lord of Angel Destroying Destiny" Pringlebee, maybe?
