No, the period was marked as the end of a sentence. Anyway, that was just an example, if I do it in real time and enter it exactly correctly, so yeah, it's got to be a variable dump.

\n? I don't see \n. Maybe your browser uses Latex differently... Do you guys use Small Basic? I learned it over the summer.

I never recall posting a "newline character," I copied it right off my Microsoft Small Basic program.

2 = signs? According to Microsoft Small Basic Curriculum Lesson 1.4, (here is just an example:) you can do

If Clock.Day = 1 And Clock.Month = 1 Then
  TextWindow.WriteLine("Happy New Year!")
EndIf

'Ya see? Clock.Day = 1 and Month = 1. 1 equals sign.

I'll try it, but the Microsoft Small Basic Curriculum were downloaded directly from the Microsoft official website.

Hi;

If you downloaded it exactly from Microsoft then you should email them if the code does not work.

Have you tried changing line 3 to If test = "ok" Then

Or even shorter

If test = "k" Then

Works fine over here. Your problem could be that you're entering "testing reply" instead of "Testing Reply".

Can you post some of your code involving ElseIf's?

Here's your main problem:

ElseIf
test2 = TextWindow.Read()
If test2 = "Testing Reply 2" Then

You need to put your test on the same line as the 'ElseIf' like this:

ElseIf test2 = TextWindow.Read()
If test2 = "Testing Reply 2" Then

And immediately after the test, Small Basic is expecting a "Then," just like with the if statements:

ElseIf test2 = TextWindow.Read() Then
If test2 = "Testing Reply 2" Then

Also, you can't test if TextWindow.Read() is equal to the variable 'test2' because you haven't set it to anything yet. But you already set the "test" variable to TextWindow.Read() on the second line of your program. What I think you meant to do is something like this:

ElseIf test = "Testing Reply 2" Then

Finally, with all that thinking, we get this:

TextWindow.WriteLine("Testing")
test = TextWindow.Read()
If test = "Testing Reply" Then
    TextWindow.WriteLine("This is text.")
ElseIf test = "Testing Reply 2" Then
    TextWindow.WriteLine("This is also text.")
Else
    TextWindow.WriteLine("Sorry, this operation did not perform correctly.")
EndIf

Line by line, the program says this:
1. Show the user "Testing" (print it out on the screen).
2. Set the variable "test" to whatever the user types.
3. Check if the "test" variable is equal to "Testing Reply" (without quotes). If it is, go to step 4, otherwise go to step 5.
4. Show the user "This is text." (Without quotes, of course!) Then go to step 8.
5. Check if the "test" variable is equal to "Testing Reply 2" (without quotes). If it is, go to step 6, otherwise go to step 7.
6. Show the user "This is also text." Then go to step 8.
7. Show the user "Sorry, this operation did not perform correctly." Then go to step 8.
8. This is the "EndIf." It pretty much says "quit asking all these 'if' questions!"
