MASM Help.

[Evgeni]

I'm a VB and a C++ programmer and just started to learn asm. I'm trying to replicate my old c++ newbie programs into asm code. One of the programs i tried to replicate is an easy one it just draws a right triangle in console mode with asterisks.
Asm Code:

main proc

    LOCAL x:DWORD
    LOCAL y:DWORD
    LOCAL inptVal:DWORD

    mov eax, sval(input("Height of the triangle:"))
    mov y,0

    YLoop:
        print chr$(13,10)
        mov x,0
        add y,1
        mov ebx,y
        cmp y,eax
        jg Done
        XLoop:
            add x,1
            cmp x,ebx
            jg YLoop
            print "*"
            jmp XLoop

    Done:
    mov inptVal, input("Press any key to continue . . .") 
    ;to halt and let the output be seen

    ret

main endp

For some reason it just does 2 lines of asterisks.
