I was fooling around with some code and was wondering if it would be possible to create a wordpad of some sort. if you try this loop your able to move forward with text, but you cant delete text to go up, or clear what you have written. is there a way to go around this?

the backspace key deletes them for me.
[edit] NM I see what you mean
[edit2] You can do it but you will have to save the input into strings and use the set cursor command to place your text. Then Use the string commands to delete the chartacters from the strings and re draw them.

sounds difficult

[edit]could I do it this way?

if the backspace key is hit, then I set the cursor to where it was before? Im thinking the code would be infinite if I did it that way.

Don't use input.
Use ENTRY$ to build a string and use TEXT to display it.
Then use LEFT$ to remove characters when the backspace key is pressed.

it's cool to hate
