with qb64, my interest in freebasic decreases more and more, and an old thread on fb.net kind of clinches it for me. i'm not interested in explaining it anymore, you can bother myst with it.
if you're looking for something more like qb than fb, i recommend qb64, i don't plan to compare them again. if you're looking for something better than fb overall, use warpbasic.
i know how many people will be thrilled about this, that's okay. i think i've made all the points that are going to be made about it, but some of them will be resolved by other people. in particular, the utter nonsense with/from pete berg will likely come up again, but i won't be using the term freebasic, nor will i be starting any topics or articles about it.
for the last time, here's more than one example of why i don't use fb:

H i boy,
searching on the web i've found this nice old tutorial (it's about Qbasic but i think it could interest
even the lfreebasic beginner...)
Try to download at :
http://www.network54.com/Realm/QBZips/mpgitqbi.zip
Well, that tutorial has the charateristcs that is written like
a old consolle program in wich you can use the MOUSE to
select "next page" or other options...(try it to understand
better what i mean ).
Now, I'd like to know how it's called that "trick" or procedure that allow
the user to use the mouse in a consolle program.(it's very important to me , i'd like to learn it).
Could someone please help me?
Is it possible to obtain the same with freebasic?
A lot of thanks to whoever will help me,
bye

I would recommend you to stay away from 'tutorials' written by the network666 crew. Too much spaghetti code can screw up with your mind forever - you can find many examples of that in their forums.
Search for fbbeginner (http://www.freebasic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6465) or try some of the tutorials, guides or examples in the online docs: http://www.freebasic.net/wiki.

Mouse is easy using fbgfx, just search for SetMouse() and GetMouse() on the wiki. For making it change what's on the screen, you'll probably just put something on the screen, wait for the correct mouse event (using a Do... Loop) and then change the screen contents when that happens. If you don't understand what I just said, you'd best start with the basics and not worry much about using the mouse just yet.
I agree with v1ctor, besides which any mouse program in QBasic will probably have a lot of extra stuff that isn't needed in FB (they will generally need to use special hardware access or interrupt calls - FB has mouse support built in, via fbgfx, so there's no need for that stuff).
