i would write something like

Code:

bob 1,X+Y,Y+Z,FRM

or depending on which way your axes point, change one or both of the +'s into -'s.
(the above graphics example looks like the Y axis should point up and left, rather than up and right, then again i vaguely remember this sort of game not paying all that much attention to consistency with the background graphics)

to do jumping in my own code, i tend to maintain an upwards velocity variable, call it DZ, then in your game loop do something like

Code:

Z=Z+DZ
DZ=DZ-1
if Z<0
   Z=0
   DZ=0
end if
if Jup(1) AND Z=0 then DZ = 20

you can experiment with the numbers obviously
