Welcome!
Ok cool it's 3D! Alright, in 3D, every object (be it a box, person, building, road) is refered to by number. They each get a number that you have to specify when you make them. You can't make 2 objects with the same number because if you could you would have no idea which to choose! For example, take a look at this. Paste it in DBPro to test it:
rem Setup our demo
rem SYNC ON will make everything smoother. This way, when you use SYNC it will smoothen things out.
sync on
rem This will specify the maximum Frames Per second that it can go to. If you say 0 then it will go as fast as possible.
sync rate 0
rem This will turn automatic camera positioning off, so we can have more ocntrol.
autocam off
rem This will create a cube with an object number of 1.
Make Object cube 1,10
rem This will create a cube with an object number of 2.
Make object cube 2,10
rem this will put the first cube at the origin of our 3D word- 0 on the X axis (left+right), 0 on the Y axis(up+down), an 0 on the Z axis (forward/back)
position object 1,0,0,0
rem Put the second cube 30 units over to the right.
position object 2,30,0,0
rem Color the first cube red.
color object 1,rgb(255,0,0)
rem Color the second green.
color object 2,rgb(0,255,0)
rem This is a loop. It will do what's inside of it OVER and OVER again until you leave the loop.
do
rem Put the camera in such a spot so that we can see both of our cubes.
Position Camera 0,0,-100
rem Use SYNC to make everything smoother. This was enabled by SYNC ON.
sync
rem This is the end of our loop. When we get here everything goes back to the start.

Notice how each time something with an object is done, we must say which object it is first. The command REM is not really doing anything. It just lets me write things so I know what happens in that spot. They're like putting notes in a book to mark what happenes there. If you want to just get started, you can read this: Not sure if it'll help at all but here it is:
Help. By Me.

A different link. Not by me.
Don't forget to look at the stickys in this board (threads that are stuck at the top. One says "Tons of tutorials for newcomers!")
