Thanks again Matti-4. I took your advice regarding Gambas3 and I love the new collapsible SUBs and the way that changing a button name automatically changes the code.
BUT I have installed it on 2 machines one with Mint 13 and the other with Ubuntu 12.04 and in both cases the program will run but clicking on the "Buttons" has no effect. I installed it from the instructions on the Gambas site adding the PPA below and installing with APT-GET. http://ppa.launchpad.net/nemh/gambas3/ubuntu Am I doing something wrong?
