Creating a program is very simple in CC.\n\nedit programname\n\nedit means we want to create or edit program, and programname is the name of the program we wish to edit or create.",
  21.                  "1.2 - Learning how to save that program.\n\nSo now your inside the editing feature of CC and you can move around almost like a notepad. We want to press the [Control] key which will bring up a menu at the bottom of your screen. Pressing the [Left] and [Right] arrow keys will change your selection in this menu. [SAVE] will save the program. [QUIT] will quit editing the program. By pressing [ENTER] we can choose our selection.",
  22.                  "1.3 - Learning how to run that program.\n\nWe've created our little program, but how do we run it? Well thats simple. We type the program name into our terminal and press [ENTER], but remember all things in LUA are case-sensitive. Your program named \"Hello\" is not the same as your program named \"hello\".",

  29.                  "2.2 - How to use write.\n\nWhen you print text, the program automatically adds a linebreak after your print command, sometimes you may not wish to do this.\n\nwrite (\"Hello\")\nprint (\"User\")\n\nThese two lines would make the exact same appearance as the print line we made previously. The reason is because the write command does not generate a linebreak and we can use this to keep our current position and continue writing on the same line.",

  31.                  "2.4 - How to use the cursor position.\nThe cursor position is a very powerful thing. For example, when you clear the screen, the cursor still stays on it's previous line. Meaning that after you clear the screen, your next print statement very well may appear at the bottom of the screen.",

  42.                  "3.2 - How to use a variable.\n\nThe first thing we should almost always do when we want to use a variable in a program is to define the variable. We do this by giving the variable a default piece of data. If we don't define a variable then the variable is considered NIL until it has been set.",
  43.                  "3.2 - How to use a variable.\n\nA NIL variable can cause lots of problems in your program, if you try to add together 2 variables and one is NIL, you'll get an error, if you try printing a NIL variable you'll get an error.",
  44.                  "3.2 - How to use a variable.\n\nWe'll be using the variable x from this point onward. Remember that x is different then X in lua.\n\nx = 0\n\nThis defined x to have a default value of 0. You could also do x = \"hello\" if you wanted it to contain text.",
  45.                  "3.2 - How to use a variable.\n\nA variable will hold it's data until you change it. Therefor x = 0 means that x will be 0 until you tell your program that x is something different.",
  46.                  "3.2 - How to use a variable.\n\nYou can also set variables as booleans, booleans are true and false.\nx = true\nThis would set x to true, which is different then \"true\". Using booleans gives you 1 more way to define a variable to be used later in your program.",
  47.                  "3.3 - How to display a variable.\n\nBeing able to show a variable to the user is very important. Who wants to just save the user's name in a variable, but not show it to them during the program? When displaying variables we can use the print or write commands.",
  48.                  "3.3 - How to display a variable.\nx = 0\nprint (x)\nx = \"Bob\"\nprint (\"Hello\"..x)\n\nYou'll notice in the last line that we used our x variable along with another piece of text. To do so we used .. which tells the program to add the x variable directly after the word Hello. In this syntax that would show the user   HelloBob  since we didn't add a space ;)",
  49.                  "3.3 - How to display a variable.\n\nRemember variables are case sensitive, and that variable1 is different then Variable1.\nIf you wanted to place a variable inbetween text you could do.\n\nprint (\"Hello \"..x..\" how are you?\")\n\nThis would print   Hello Bob how are you?",
  50.                  "3.4 - How to convert a variable.\n\nSometimes a variable might need to be converted, this is mainly the case when you want to use the variable as a number, but it's currently a string. For example:\nx = \"0\"\nx = x + 1\n\nThis will not work, as x equals \"0\"",
  51.                  "3.4 - How to convert a variable.\n\nThe difference between 0 and \"0\" is that one is a number and the other is a string. You can't use the basic math functions on strings. Lua can convert a number to a string automatically but it cannot convert a string to a number automatically.",
  52.                  "3.4 - How to convert a variable.\n\nx = 0\ny = \"1\"\nWe can't add those together atm, so we need to convert our string to a number so that we can add it to x.\ny = tonumber(y)\nThis converts y to a number (if it can't be converted to a number then y will be NIL)",
  53.                  "3.4 - How to convert a variable.\n\nNow that we've converted y to a number we can do.\nx = x + y\nThis would make x equal to x(0) + y(1). This means that x is now equal to 1 and y hasn't changed so it's still 1 as well.",
  54.                  "3.4 - How to convert a variable.\n\nIf we want to add a string to another string, we don't use the math symbols, we simply use ..\nx = \"Hello\"\ny = \"Bob\"\nx = x..y\nThis would make x = \"HelloBob\"",
  55.                  "3.4 - How to convert a variable.\n\nRemember that Lua can convert a number to a string, but not the other way around. If you always want to be 100% positive what your variables are, use the functions tonumber(x) and tostring(x).",

  62.                  "4.1 - How to get user input.\n\nx = io.read()\nThe io.read() tells the program to stop and wait for user input, when the user presses enter that information is then stored in the variable x and the program continues.\nUser input is always stored as a string, therefor if the user types 1 and presses enter, x will be come \"1\", not 1",
  63.                  "4.1 - How to get user input.\n\nOnce the user's input is entered into the x variable you can use that variable like you would any other variable. This means if you then wanted to show the user their input you could follow your io.read() line with print(x)",

  72.                  "5.1 - What is an IF statement.\n\nWe have many options in the IF statement, we could do:\nif x >= 1\nRemember we can't do that IF statement if x is a string x = \"1\".\nif name ~= \"Bob\"\nThe ~= option means is not equal too. This if statement would pass if the name was NOT Bob.",

  75.                  "5.3 - The ELSEIF statement.\n\nSometimes we want to check for multiple outcomes inside an IF statement, we can achieve this using the ELSEIF statement. The key things to remember is that you still only need 1 end as the last line, because this is 1 full statement, and that you will need to include a then for an ELSEIF.",

  78.                  "5.4 - Complex IF's.\n\nIf's can become very complex depending on your situation. I will show some examples of more complex IF's:\nif name == \"Bob\" and name ~= \"John\" then\nWe are checking the variable twice in 1 if statement by using the AND statement. We could also use the OR statement",
  79.                  "5.4 - Complex IF's.\n\nYou can also place IF statements inside other IF statements, just make sure you place an END statement at the correct place for each IF statement. Next page is an example of a pretty complex IF statement.",

  88.                  "6.2 - How to exit a loop\nSince we don't want our loops to run until they crash we have to give them a way to stop.
