I am trying to download a file and when I do the processing stops and a blue Qbasic screen appears. In the center box it says "input past end of file". How do I find out where in the file the error is , and what do I press to get the blue screen to give me that information?

how to open a file?

It looks like you have opened up a text file and trying to read past the end of file. You must check for the EOF
for example
ffile = freefile
Open "Test.txt" for input as #ffile
do while not eof(ffile)
input x$
'do your stuff
wend
close #ffile
