I am working on a Menu for my newest game Time Warp Z, I Am hoping to put in a menu system for buying things.. Everything was going good until I made this prob...
**you select Potion and Buy it on the Menu**
//here is the code \\
+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+======++++====

Case 0: HP=(hp+10); GP=(GP-50); UnPress(1);While(1){GotoXY(200, 50); PrintString(0, "Bought Potion"); ShowPage(); UpdateControls(); UnPress(1);}

//**//**//**//**\\**\\**\\**\\**\\

What I want to do is make the string that notifies the player that they bought the potion to stay there until they press ENTER.. But it does nothing.. is there another way to do this??

You need to check for stuff to make sure that you don't go above max hp and that you have enough gold to buy the potion (ie, don't go below 0 gold). The easiest way to do this is to make a function that basically adds the stuff for you so you can still add/subtract hp in one easy line.
Alternatively, especially with gold, you can say:
If (gold=50)
{
gold=gold-50;
AddHp(1,10); //an example, character1, adding 10 hp
Notice("Bought potion!"};
}
Else { Notice("You don't have enough money"); }

See how much cleaner everything looks when you make your own functions to do small tasks? This way you don't need to rewrite all that unpress/while code because you can put it in Notice and use it whenever you want.
