how can u only have the outside of the box rather than the whole box b

[Guest_imported]

this is my box program

what the problem is that the interior of the box should not be there, eg when u try out the program and use the symbol e the whole box will be covered up with e's

so could somene give me some code to this program just to shiow the outside of the box

thanx
