I have two desktops, both with the same op system and SDLIDE. I am showing my ignorance again .. Sorry. I tested on both machines, and when I clicked the beetle a smaller window came up with all varia

The display window the program opened up was almost full screen. I suppose I could have dragged it down to see the code? Next time I get chance I will do that rather than close it in case the closing

Thank you for your investigation and comments. I just tried it again, I changed a letter in a PRINT statement and ran it. It told me 'Bad use of array' (It was followed by a TAB), I then had to close

I just copied it into Libre Office, and it looks ok. I don't use colours in the code, I find it more confusing than helpful. I used to be an analyst programmer back in the days of Infobasic. Thanks ag

Sorry to bother you again Richard, but can you suggest any way to print off a listing? I have spent all day so far on this program, and it would be nice to keep a hard copy. I don't see any print item

Don't worry Richard, MODE22 is near enough full screen. Leslie

Thank you Richard, I typed that line in a new program followed only by WAIT50:QUIT and all I get is no such variable. Is there a particular library that may be missing?

Hi Richard and others, I am still using SDL 2.0 on Linux Mint and I am trying to get the program to run in full screen. Any Ideas? Leslie

Many thanks ... Yes I eventually found the right file, FIND did not locate VDU26 but I found it visually. I put 5 secs delay in and the window opens correctly. Sorry for all the hassle, and misreading

Richard, I have found sdlide.bbc in the tools folder. I have used FIND but cannot see a VDU26 in it? Virus-free. www.avast.com

Richard, I see one of the problems – maybe I am getting dyslexic? I read the file as bbcsdl.bbc … I am trying to find sdlide.bbc? So far I have been unable to locate it. Where should it be? I feel gui

Richard, I am sorry for this. My programming skills are fairly minimal and I do not really know how to handle those two variables in the PROC statement. I have used WAIT statements up to 10 secs befor

Richard, I have inserted the code you previously sent me into bbcsdl.bbc. When invoking the ide from the desktop icon the screen is filled with a maximized window, but the ‘edit’ window still covers o

Does it matter where in that file I place the extra code?

Not quite, but similar. When I invoke the ide it initially appears as a small window. If I click maximize a larger window fills the screen but the ide window only occupies the top left quadrant. All I

Richard, and all .. I recently installed bbcsdl on my Linux Mint 19 desktop and it seems to be ok apart from a minor point ... Having opened the IDE, it initially is in a smallish window, if I click t

Richard & others, I have just been attempting to install bbcsdl on another machine running Linux Mint 19 (64 bit) using the 64 bit libraries and got this error message, as has been reported by others

Happy new year everyone. I am now using BBCSDL on my laptop with Linux Mint 19 (Tara). Is there any block of code, as in windows to display a program output in full screen rather than just a small win

Again, many thanks. Yes in my HOME folder I have leslie/My Data/BBC4L with relevant sub-folders. I now have it working but am realizing that some progs from my Win installation will not work due to sy
