 		i'm programming something in blitz basic in which you type something in the input field and then it replaces certain letters with other letters (like replacing r with w). does anyone know how to make the program replace more than one letter? (like replacing r AND l with w)

 		Sure:

Input_String$ = input$("What is your original String?")
Replace_String$ = replace(Input_String$,"a","z")
Replace_String$ = replace(Input_String$,"b","y")

Basically just 2 lines, if you were looking for a parameter in Replace(), then it isn't there, I checked the help.

 		i tried that (after you suggested it) and it didn't work. did it work for you? i am also using the demo version of blitz, so maybe that had something to do with it. but thanx anyway.

 		mistyped it, sry.

Input_String$ = Input$("What is your original String?")
Input_String$ = Replace(Input_String$,"a","z")
Input_String$ = Replace(Input_String$,"b","y")
Print Input_String$

Its case sensitive so that may be why you had trouble.

 		Thank you very much!! It works very well. I was programming something that translates your text into Elmer Fudd. You saved me countless hours of frustration. (seriously)
