scripting question no. 2

[Sytske Kimball]

After the help from a another list member it turned out I needed one more line:
 
'd fidst'
code=subwrd(result,4)
if(code=201)
'draw string 8 1 Agricola'
endif
That fixed it.

If that is your entire script, I am stumped because the defaults for string attributes should print something (it may not be pretty, but it should print).  If this is part of a larger script, could you have done something that causes the string color to be the same as the background color?  There is, of course, the set string command, but set background or set color could also cause this problem.  That's my only guess.

Good thought, but unfortunately that wasn't it - I'm in landscape mode.
I also tested the print statement by removing the if and endif lines and it works........

just a thought. If your screen is oriented portrait, then x=8,y=1 is just 
on the right edge of the screen. Try 'draw string 5 1 Agricola' to check 
if this is an issue.
