FNXBasic

Never used it but I think there are ( at least ) 2 ways.

1: use Windows API like shown here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2443738/c-terminateprocess-function

2: use an external tool to kill the process(id) like: Shell/Run taskkill ( xp professional ) or tskill (xp home ) or pskill

Not the best way i think but does this work?
Sendkeys "{INS}"

Hmm, strange, i copied your code and made the change for the open statement.
Beside this, i suppose after something has been played it must be closed too?

I found a problem when the path has spaces in it.
try this:
   mci.lpstrcommand="open "+chr$(34)+filename+chr$(34)+" type mpegvideo alias mysound"

btw., i removed the shortname :)

Did not try it but perhaps spaces
"Type -> " Type
"from -> " from

You can use FileStream, something like this:dim filenaam as stringdim f as FileStreamdim line as stringfilenaam = "myfile.txt"if FileExists(filename)=true then  f.Open(filename)  while f.Position < f.Size    line=f.ReadLine    showmessage line  wend ...

You don`t have to check numbers that are not made yet so something like this:number1 = RandomDo  number2 = RandomLoop until (number <> number1)Do  number3 = RandomLoop until (number <> number1) and (number <> number2) Do  number4 = RandomLoop until (number <> number1) and (number <> n...

Make something that checks the number, something like this:Do  number1 = RandomLoop until (number <> number2) and (number <> number3) 4,5,6 etc.Do  number2 = RandomLoop until (number <> number1) and (number <> number3) 4,5,6 etc.I don`t want to spoil your programming fun so you can try it ...

Did not look into it yet but two remarks:
Image is a windows object, not a (real) data type as integer.
Using a record name and the same var name is not allowed?

I just wanted to give up because i could not find the right handle for input/output (and a little too busy...).
I`m glad for updates, i like the concept of fnxbasic but there is room for improvements :)
