I read that I shouldn't use PRINT to write text, but TEXT. The trouble is, it always write in white : how can I change the color TEXT uses ?

just use a color command before it. i.e. color 255,0,0 : Text 10,10,"Hello" will display the word 'Hello' in red. The three values after the color command represent the seperate red, green & blue values which make up a specific colour so 'color 0,255,0' would be green. Hope that helps Regards

try Dr. Av's BB colour picker Dr Av has taken all the pain out of color 0,255,0 and put it all straight into your IDE :-)
