Installing

I am a new user. I downloaded, installed and entered key for full version. I can open an example and compile and then run the new EXE. However if I open a new, and type [Print "hello world"], save and run I get an error screen that says "Mistake".
Tried running as ADMIN, same issue.
I tried opening example and adding the same line and then run and I get the "Mistake"
Not sure what is going on, any ideas? Thanks.

Keywords in 'BBC BASIC for Windows' are normally uppercase (unless you have selected the 'Lowercase Keywords' option in the IDE) , and case-sensitive. Try the following:
Code:
EDIT: Furthermore, since the vast majority of BBC BASIC programs are written with uppercase keywords (as has pretty much always been the case with this dialect of BASIC), I would leave it in 'uppercase mode' if I were you. There is only one BB4W user that I'm aware of that releases his BB4W source code featuring lowercase keywords (although there may be others, of course).

Hi Sparky
Your line Print "hello world" also gives "Mistake" on my machine. As i did not have "Lower Case Keywords" enabled i then enabled it in the "OPTIONS" menu. However, even when enabled the "hello world" gave me the same "Mistake" error unless i re-typed the word 'print' and then it ran as expected.
