Im trying to figure out on how to INPUT a numper into my programs by writing a simple timer program it come up with "syntax error in 0:2". looks like I did something wrong in line 2 or something.

Take the ; out of line 2.

Actually, the STEP -1 shouldn't be there either. The line should just be: FOR X=1 TO NO1

Or, if you want it to count down: FOR X=NO1 TO 1 STEP -1

Thanks for the help & it worked.

Following up on this timer program I tried changing it so at the countdown that you can choose to restart at the begining of the program or to end the program. the lines 14 to 18 is where the main area of problem arise.

I realise my mistake. In lines 16 & 17 I dad a goto after the then. Once I removed the 2 goto the program worked fine.
