I am an amateur programmer and I can't find a problem with a script I'm working on. If you are good at troubleshooting in Windows Visual Basic 2010 (Express), contact me in any way possible and I will send you a copy of the script.

It is a text-based game used for play on the DOS prompt. You type in a command on the screen and that sends it through to a function that filters out what the command was and sends out a matching response. Some commands add stuff to your Inventory via editing strings while some advance you through the mazes and paths. I'm not too far in the script and I've hit a roadblock.

After any command typed into Phase1 (The first round of commands, like just one room in the game) the console locks up and doesn't display the response. Wether or not it changes the variables I don't know. I've done my research, triple-read the script and anything else I could try.

If you are kind enough to help me, I'm sorry, I cannot pay you. You'll have to do it from kindness. Thank you in advance.

Below is a picture of a part of the game. After typing a command, it goes and stays blank.
