hey guys. I was hoping you could asnwer this question i have.... ive just started messing around with programming. i kno the basics of qbasic(print,cls,what a variable is,etc), but what i cant figure out is how to use the program you write in q basic. i save it and i can locate it but when i click it it sais open with what programming. is it possible i can use the program i make in q basic? how can i use the program i make?!
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.
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:

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.
as he asked ppl read the threads i havent seen a way to make qbasic programs executable but u never know should start learning pascal better more c++ ish with functions and stuff well thats my 22.6c
thanks

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.
Qbasic came in two versions. Normal Qbasic was includedQuote:

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.
:cool:
Thanx guys , with your help i figured it out
