So I've been puzzling over a strange issues with strings and text lately, where all my efforts to print information to the home and graph screens resulted in a bunch of gobbledy-gook (long amounts of +'s, n's, and 0's). After thinking I was coding something wrong I eventually tried doing the same thing before all of the other code, resulting in perfect text. Just wondering if anyone could shed some light on this? (I'm using TokenIDE so DeltaList = Data)

.MATRIX

Fix 5

//Initial try, works fine
Text(10,10,"FFFFF")

Repeat getKey(15)
DispGraph
End

DeltaList(0->GDB1

For(Y,0,7)
For(X,0,7)
1->{Y*8+X+GDB1}
End
End

"!"->Str1

For(P,0,15)
({4*P+GDB1}*8)+({4*P+1+GDB1}*4)+({4*P+2+GDB1}*2)+{4*P+3+GDB1}->N
"F"->{Str1+P}
End

//Second try, plus trying to figure out if I used the string right
Text(10,10,"FFFFF")
Text(10,20,Str1)

Repeat getKey(15)
DispGraph
End

Fix 4

I'm writing a BASIC program that does lots of sprite drawing with lines, and I was hoping to optimize it by putting the Line( commands for each sprite into a string, and then simply using expr(String wherever the sprite was needed. Unfortunately, the expr( command seems to not work with commands that don't return answers. It would be very useful if there were another way (Or if someone had a better idea) to achieve the desired result. (I would prefer to stick with using the Line( commands)

Thanks!  

EDIT: Here's a more visual explanation:

This bulky thing repeated multiple times:
Line(6X,6Y,6X,6Y+5
Line(6X,6Y+5,6X+5,6Y+5
Line(6X+5,6Y+5,6X+5,6Y
Line(6X+5,6Y,6X,6Y
Versus

At the beginning:
"Line(6X,6Y,6X,6Y+5):Line(6X,6Y+5,6X+5,6Y+5):Line(6X+5,6Y+5,6X+5,6Y):Line(6X+5,6Y,6X,6Y"->Str1And then later in the program:
expr(Str1
