Hi Mark,
Near the top of your script or function, where your code is, you need to add
what is called a declaration for the variable Paws. See my addition below.
Also, for the beep to be heard only if the button is equal to Pause, the
beep will need to be inside the if statement.
If the purpose of the beep is to let you know that portion of the code has
run, regardless of whether the IF is found to be True, then its fine where
it is.
your Script or function name ()
VAR
STRING Paws
let PAWS=GetWord ()
Pause ()
If paws=="Pause" Then
TypeString (" ")
Beep ()
EndIf

Hi
I removed the rem lines and changed the = to a double =. The script now
looks like this.
let PAWS=GetWord ()
Pause ()
If paws=="Pause" Then
TypeString (" ")
EndIf
Beep ()
Now, the compiler says that there is a problem in my let statement. I
believe the comment was that paws was an unknown function. What I am trying
to do is store the information from the getword command so the If statement
can process it. What should I do next?
Thank you for your help.
God bless,
Mark
