New to this, Need some starter help

[skimask]

Yep all is going well now, except for the if then else things. IT keeps telling me that i have a 'then' not preceeded by an if. Also 'else' not proceeded by an if or a then.

I suppose A little more study will be required to figure this one out.

Well then, try this:

IF you post your code THEN
somebody around here might be able to help you
ELSE
nobody will be able to figure out what you're trying to do
ENDIF

I figured out the if then else thing. The manual listed the else on the same line as the if. That is how I put it. Moved the then to the next line and all is well.

What page? What section listed it that way?

Disregard that... You were probably looking at pages that weren't DESCRIBING the IF/THEN/ELSE/ENDIF structure, but were only mentioning it in passing.

PIC Basic Pro compiler manual. It was page 89 section 5.36.

That's what I was talking about...
On that page, in the examples, ELSE is always on the line following the THEN.
I figured you might have been looking at page 1 or page 39.
