Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

I tried just writing a simple for next loop without line nos. and it gives me error message 'for without next' and 'next without for'. as soon as I add the line nos. everything is OK.
I line numbered my complete program and it runs OK but remove the line nos. and use labels and it won't work.
I'm sure I am writing it OK as I have written many programs for the PICAXE.
Maybe I will try downloading and installing V.3 again incase it has an error.

I think I know the problem.

In version 3, when entering new code without line numbers, you must be in EDIT mode. That tells MMBasic you are editing a program, otherwise it will try to run each line as you enter it. Just type EDIT to start the editor.

I'm sure your right Gizmo.

With 3.0 you either write the old fashion way with line numbers
or
type EDIT first and then work from within the built in editor.

There is a bug that may be producing the problem you're encountering -

If you have an odd number of blank lines before a NEXT, ENDIF, DATA, WHILE or WEND statement you will get an error message. MM Bug list
