Can you cut and paste this code and show me what your screen looks like, thanks:

DO
Print("Hello ???")
Sync()
LOOP

Lee, I also get the same outcome as Rickynzx. I wrote up a quick program and it seems that only part of the ASCII chart (33 - 127) is supported...well printed.

+ Code Snippet

char as integer = 0
LastTime as float = 0.0

while char &lt;= 255
    if Timer() - LastTime &gt; 0.4
        print( str(char) + ": " + chr(char))
        LastTime = Timer()
        char = char + 1
        sync()
    endif
endwhile
end

This is the same problem as printing accented characters. It appears to be on the 'to do' list.

Just replace the $ with a ? (with a paint tool) in the font png file!!!!

put the sync after the endif on the second example and it should work.

Your first example is like:

//print this when the mouse is down
if GetPointerstate ( ) = 1 then print ( GetPointerX ())

//print this all the time
print (getpointery())
sync()
