    Check your connections. Look on page 139 of the Basic Stamp Syntax and Reference Manual for schematics and some examples of code for buttons or whiskers.

    Really simple code could be: 
    DO
   IF IN5 = 1 THEN
      HIGH 6
   ELSE
      LOW 6
   ENDIF
LOOP
    This would mirror the input state of pin #5 to pin #6. Typically, you'd have an LED with a 1K resistor in series with it between pin #6 (anode) and ground (cathode). You could use either schematic on page 139.
