Welcome to the forums.

I'd do this in the main loop:

TurnEntity MySkyBox,0,.1,0

You can change .1 to whatever speed you like.

Are you sure you have it in your main loop?

For instance:

While Not KeyHit(1)
 TurnEntity SkyBox,0,.1,0
 RenderWorld
 Flip
Wend

Also make sure that you have the variable name of the skybox correct.

Figured it out - apparently the sky is stored in the shasecam type

TurnEntity camera1\sky,0,.1,0

well now it says "variable mustbe a Type" and i'm not sure were to put it either?

Find line 99, which is this:

PositionEntity sky,EntityX(c\camera),EntityY(c\camera),EntityZ(c\camera)

...and put this line below it:

TurnEntity c\sky,0,0.1,0

Be warned that the skybox in the castle demo has mountains on it, and rotating it does look incredibly silly.

GfK can you just send me your castle demo!

Can't, really. It's copyrighted and i might get in trouble. Your best option would be to reinstall Blitz if you've knackered up the sample code.

"WTF" won't get you much help around here. Do you say to your mother:

"WTF? where's the gravey?"

No you don't. So don't expect any help until you start being polite.
