I entered the code statements:/ nomainwin notice "Click on OK to continue": rem Display a message in a popup window response$ = "Who is there?" prompt "Knock Knock Joke Game" + chr$(13) + "Knock Knock!"; response$ if response$ = "" then notice "Knock Knock Joke Game" + chr$(13) +_ "Error: You must respond by entering 'Who is there?'" else response$ = "Disease who?" prompt "Knock Knock Joke game" + chr$(13) + "Disease!"; response$ if response$ = "" then notice "Knock Knock Joke Game" + chr$(13) +_ "Error: You must respond my entering 'Disease who?'" else notice "Knock Knock Joke Game" + chr$(13) +_ "Disease this joke seem funny to you?" end if end if ..................................................................................... so when I hit run it says BASIC compile halted:ELSE without if/THEN and it highlights the first "else" I typed. I am using WIndows Vista and copied from the book so can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong? Why does it not let me have "else" [/QUOTE]
