    What do you mean exactly? If you want to declare strings, you just append a dollar sign to the variable identifier. E.g.: ST$ is a string. If you want to print it, simply use PRINT <String Variable>. E.g.: PRINT ST$

    Sorry that it isn't clear. I meant, how do you make the text type letters one by one?

    Well, that's really simple to implement. You just have to remember that a string is really just a string of individual characters. You could have a FOR loop that iterates over the string and prints each character. E.g.: FOR I=0 TO LEN(ST$)-1 PRINT ST$[I]; WAIT 20 NEXT

    How would I make it type what I want? Do I do: (whatever string I do)$ "Hello world!"?

    What do you mean? You define the string however you want. STRING$ = "Hello World" Then use that string how Oscar showed.

    Ok, here's what I want to know. How do I make it so the text types one letter at a time, like I do PRINT "Hello World" And if you run it types out the phrase one letter at a time so it looks like its typing it out for you.

    All I know, is that it has something to do with a string.
