I am using the dir command to show the files. How can I move my mouse over a file and select it.

new question, how would you take the name of a file.

+ Code Snippet

start:
cls
sync rate 25:do:sync:cls:Box 0,0,700,15,RGB(0,255,255),RGB(0,255,255),RGB(0,255,255),RGB(0,255,255):ink RGB(255,0,0),0:Set cursor 275,0:Print "Music Player":set cursor 0,36:Print "Press 1 for file selector":set cursor 0,48:Print "Press 2 to play music"
box 300,100,700,700,RGB(255,255,255),RGB(255,255,255),RGB(255,255,255),RGB(255,255,255):set cursor 450,100:Print "Music"
if keystate(2)
  goto file:
  endif
loop
file:
do:sync:sync rate 10
cls
set cursor 0,0:dir
box x1,y1,x2+100,y2+12,RGB(128,255,255),RGB(128,255,255),RGB(128,255,255),RGB(128,255,255)
if keystate(4)
  goto start:
  endif
if downkey()=1:inc y1,15:inc y2,15:endif:if upkey()=1:dec y1,15:dec y2,15:endif
if returnkey()=1 and y1=84::endif
loop

you see, when you take hightlight a file and press enter I want it to get the name of that file so I can bring it back to the main screen.

Look here, it's a tutorial on my website on how to create link text:

Then use that on every file so that you can click it, and make it so it can be selected.

EDIT: Whoa, posted at the same time you did. I need to see your source, dude.

The "dir" command only allows you to see the directory. It doesn't store any information to give you the functionality you need.

You can use "perform checklist for files" to store the file information then save that information in an array.

+ Code Snippet

` Make file list
perform checklist for files
Max=checklist quantity()
dim File$(Max)

` Define File$() as the checklist strings
for t=1 to Max
 File$(t-1)=checklist string$(t)
next t

do
 x=10:y=0
 for t=0 to Max
  texw=text width(File$(t))
  texh=text height(File$(t))
  ` Print the file list
  text x,y,File$(t)
  ` Check if the mouse coordinates are within the
  ` area of the current text
  if mousex()=>x and mousex()<=x+texw
   if mousey()=>y and mousey()<=y+texh
    ` Print the currently selected file
    ink 0,0:box 200,0,400,20
    ink rgb(255,255,255),0
    text 200,0,File$(t)
   endif
  endif
  inc y,15
 next t
loop
