Atleast Gamedesign er20 did not use the word "input" in his question. I have seen that done before.

Thanks for the help, what i meant when i asked that question was say i want to delete an object that is identified as 1. i wanted the user of the program to have to type 1 in order to delete that. I figured i should, like you guys said, use the input command, and i was hoping i could associate the input command with a string, such as delete object blue$ and then somehow use the input command to make blue$ equal what was typed in.

Hello

Use the <Val(string)> command to convert a string to a number

Thanks for the help, it was useful
Now i'm on to working with strings for a file, like copy file blue$, hopefully i will be able to convert your code into what i am looking for, altough it seems that the input command isn't working very well. I thought this might have worked

Okay, here's the problem: When you say INPUT with that Blue$ at the end, it will put whatever the user writes into the variable called blue$. When you say
Blue$=Filename$,
you are making Blue$ equal Filename$, and since Filename$ has nothing in it you are making Blue$=nothing. the result is that you are left with 2 empty variables. Writing FileName$=Blue$ instead of Blue$=FileName$ would probably fix it, because you are putting the contents of Blue$ (what the user wrote) into FileName$.
