There is no then following the first two if

[Dan]

If you use "THEN" then the command which you want to use should be in the same line, for eg:

if n<0 or n>100 then print "a number between 0 or 100" : goto ret

or without "then" but you have to have an "END IF" as in:

if n<0 or n>100 
    print "a number between 0 or 100"
    goto ret
end if

Next trouble is in:

IF n=b then print "You guessed correct";CORRECT=1

the ; is misstyped, it should be :

next trouble is in

if g$="y" then Rematch=0
Else Rematch=1

The correct usage is like with "if" and "end if":

if g$="y" 
   RMTCH=1
else
   RMTCH=0
end if

The next, not so obvious problem is the Rematch.

Amos is thinking that you are using REM command.
You will have to rename every "rematch" into something else, like RMTCH or so.

You will notice that, if you enter a variable name, (like for e.g. CORRECT) amos is converting it automatically to the uppercase.

But when you enter Rematch, it stays lowercase.
( test it by entering all uppercase letters: REMATCH, amos will convert it into RemATCH, indicating that amos is recognizing this as a Rem command ...)



p.s. if you can, change to Amos Pro, the editing with it is alot easier !
