I dunno why, but every time I see the word poke, I instantly think, eye and sharp stick.

The slashes are just there to represent text there nothing to do with the code.

C64 doesn't allow multi-line statements like that - if I remember correctly you can only have 2 multi-lines, so if you cut it down to 2 lines, it will be fine.

I tried it myself, so I know I'm correct - but then again, I am most of the time anyway.

And why do print "" ? Your wasting memory - just use print

How about a "goto" in that line of code?



I haven't tried C64 BASIC, but most are similar, it's worth a try.

[edit] Just noticed it says line 8, sorry about that. The other guys are right, the printed text is most likely too long. Try a string under 80 characters first.
