But it clears the screen even with $CONSOLE:ONLY at the top? I put "SYSTEM" instead of "END" to get away from "Press enter to continue". I've never installed nor used Windows11 so I don't know how it behaves with the terminal. I composed this program first for Freebasic and then converted it to QB64, using Kate/KWrite, and ran it only from Konsole, for at least three Linux installations with KDE Plasma (Nutyx, EndeavourOS, Manjaro). The flaw might be because the program is being run from the QB64 IDE. (shrugs)
The program should be fixed so it loops, indeed, but that requires way more quotes and ASCII "people" than our artistic abilities...
Besides, give the user an opportunity to put in what the "personality" says. Use it somewhere. Like this site with ASCII art encourages the use of the things in social networking sites. Too bad many of their pictures were ruined by the stripped spaces.
