Nice to know people are learning how to program...
I'm guessing that you are using the program QBASIC in MS-DOS to program this. If so, there should be some menu at the top that says RUN. Click it, and there should be a thing that says START. Or, you can press [Shift] + [F5], and that should do it.
I think there is a website where you can download QBASIC if you don't have it. I think it is somewhere in http://www.qbasic.com My teacher told me about it, but I didn't stay there long enough to find it...

You can get a good start by buying some books but you can only get so far with books. Eventually someone’s going to have to teach you how to program.
Its not software piracy. I’m just making multiple off site backups.

get a copy of firstbasic from powerbasic. its shareware but dosn't expire.
I didn't see it on their site but a quick search on goole:
http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare...1/firstbas.zip
its 98% compatable with qb lang, and it compiles and links your code. beats the hell outa using bat files or the run command to call the interpeter.

I wrote a tutorial on QBasic somewhere in the Tutorials Forum. I don't know, but it might be of _some_ use to you.

Qbasic is nice to start with if you want to learn a little. My suggestion is to go with visual basic or c++. Granted now it is a little more work, but it really pays off in the end.
If you don\'t tell me what I want to know, in 5 minutes I\'ll be the only person left standing at this table...5 minutes after that, I\'ll be the only person left standing in this room.

Qbasic came in two versions. Normal Qbasic was included
in MS-DOS, and you had to run the Qbasic interpreter
to run your programs.
There was a commercial version, called Quick Basic, and it
would compile your programs into EXE executables that
would run on any PC.
I came in to the world with nothing. I still have most of it.
