  Quote  1st line should be GREEN it's actually RED


You have the R1 and G1 wires reversed

  Quote  Text obviously means write TEXT what are the 2,16 on the 1st line? also the 1m, 8, 1 for?


This is Geoff's standard text routine: page 21 in the 5.1 manual, probably 22 in 5.2

  Quote   I don't get this line at all, I didn't see a box.


When you scroll left to right the leftmost line of pixels is left from the previous write. The BOX command writes a BLACK area to the screen to avoid this. Try running the program with that line commented out and you will see what I mean.

  Quote  If I want to "flash" a letter/word could I do this easily?


You have to do this by writing the text out and then rewriting it in the background colour

e.g.
[code]
DO
text 0,0,"hello",,,,RGB(white),rgb(black)
pause 400
text 0,0,"hello",,,,RGB(black),rgb(black)
pause 400
LOOP
[/code]

It is probably best to do this in a SETTICK timer
