Subs are alternate processes that are stored apart to be called from diferent parts of the porogram without having to re-type it again, for example if you MUST write part of a program over and over in diferent parts of a program, then you should make it a SUB, anyways, you have to make DIM SHARED the values or they wont change between subs. MODULE SUBS are a little bit hard to handle, because instead of SHARE you must make a COMMON or add the variables to the sub, wich is kinda hard when you have TYPED some data... omg... am i getting confusing??... ok...
A function is much like a sub, but it will return 1 value instead of many... a FUNCTION can return string, integer, long Etc... Values. for example TIME$ is a function because it returns the system time. you could make a function called TODAY.DATE$ that would return the string representation of today's date and that would be a function. the value returned by a function is the name itself. if you want some examples ask me.
