Use of Alphanumeric datas ?

[malc-c]

So if I understood you correctly, you want someone to type in a word and have the PIC translate that to morse code... ??

From the Picbasic Pro manual it states

4.9. String Constants

PBP doesn't provide string handling capabilities, but strings can be used with some commands. A string contains one or more characters and is delimited by double quotes. No escape sequences are supported for non-ASCII characters (although most PBP commands have this handling built-in).

Lcdout "Hello" ' Output String (Short for "H","e","l","l","o")

Strings are usually treated as a list of individual character values.

So allthough it allows the use of strings to be displayed, I can't see any command that is the equivelent of "INPUT a$" to input a string of characters and store it in string a$
