wrong section bud :P/> try ask a pro nice program btw

For next time, please use [code][/code] tags around your code, and as jakemg stated post it in "Ask a Pro"…

As for your problem…
Firstly, with this line

select(1)

I think you mean

turtle.select(1)

now the actual problem…. this is your line #16

m.Enchant("EnchantLevel")

EnchantLevel is your variable that you read the input from the user. however here you are giving the 'Enchant' function a string that says "EnchantLevel", I think you meant to do

m.Enchant(EnchantLevel)

that way what the user types will be given to the 'Enchant' function. however from my very limited knowledge of the peripheral you are using, and given the error message it wants a number, not a string, which is what the 'read' function returns. So you need to convert the number the user has entered from a string, to a number like so

m.Enchant(tonumber(EnchantLevel))
