string variables have to have a $ at the end of the name

Code:

INPUT "What is your name"; name$

that type of thing

if you want to input a string having a comma etc..

use

Code:

LINE INPUT A$

using ; in the input statement would give a '?' prompt.. you can remove that by using a comma instead of ;

eg:

Code:

INPUT "Name:", n$

Kagey, Name$ cannot be used as a variable because it is a reserved word in BASIC.. used to rename a file
