PS: There is no problem otherwise in re-using a (scalar) variable name as a parameter. Basically, it works the same a declaring a variable LOCal within the proc/fn, and will have no effect on any global variable of the same name. Great! It would be a fiddly to keep a library of proc/fns if one had t...

Im a bit rusty, but in SBasic, which is the SMSQ/E variant of SuperBASIC, once you have DIMmed a variable you cant use the same name again as a scalar variable or function or procedure name. I believe the same holds true for SupberBASIC. Also, once youve defined a proc/function, you cannot DIM an ar...

I think its an EZP bug. You can make the first row smaller than 10 pix, but you cant put anything in it - such as a suitably sized sprite. Height 10+ and text or sprites works fine. Im sure youll find a work-around

Per

That should work.

Hmm, I wonder how a Baidu spider managed to register..

An event could be as simple as RDPT#ch; 48. This call returns immediately. All you need is a channel. So:
DIM erec%(15)
open channel and OUTLine it, then
...
RDPT#ch; 48: pval#ch; erec%
orgx% = erec%(10): yorg% = erec%(11)

Try PVAL

I decided to put my money where my mouth is (- or should that be my foot where my mouth is?) and devise a "safe" work-around for the problem I believe you presented. If this was not the problem, apologies. It was the problem for me recently, until I solved it in another way, hence my inter...

Yes, it was the most recently started job about 1/50th of a second ago! Ie, if you want the most recent job because you started it to control it in some way, it is not a sure-fire way to do it. Some other process could conceivably start another job between you activating your job and getting its han...

If it is the 'most recent' job you want it is the one with the highest 'tag' (see example below). If you are looking for a specific job you could search for it by name (modify the code below accordingly). If you want to execute a job and get that particular job's ID, then FEX is the best way to go -...
