Title: New and confused.
With the advanced computer and monitor, how do you create something on the computer then show it on the monitor? For example, I make something in "Paint" and try to show it on the monitor but it comes out "bios:338[string"m"]:3:unexpected symbol" Obviously, I am new to computer craft, so any help will be much appreciated!
Thanks,
MvpMaya

Some programs are not coded for use on the monitor.

string "m" sounds like he's trying to use the monitor manually.
I assume this because people often wrap monitors to a variable called m.

Post your code please.

Yeah m is the program name and he has an unexpected symbol on line 3 of the code. Could be anything like a double comma in a function call or whatever

U cant simply type in the name of pant programs to display them. U can open them again in paint or draw them to the screen w/ a program

Ok ether it is not applicable to the monitor or you misplaced a piece of the code in the game. Look over the code and try again. Always look at the number closest to the left for that tells you the line of code.
