I am having the same problem.
I am also a new user, I have very little previous programming experience, and I am using the free Lite-C version.
I have been through the tutorial, and I still don't know what I'm doing wrong.
The examples that are pre-made all work fine, and I can edit them and that changes them accordingly, but if I start a new document and write a script, even if it is exactly like the pre-made scripts, all I get is a black screen.
I can even copy/paste the pre-made script into a blank document, save it, and try to run it in any mode, and all I get is a black screen, and I have no clue why.
