term.setCursorPos(1,7)
write("Enter name of the Background you want to create:")

name = io.read()

shell.run"paint (name)"

how can I say the programm to open a new paint file with the previously surrounded name?

Use a string concat operator ( .. ):

local name = "John"
local surname = "Smith"

local fullName = name .. " " .. surname

print( fullName ) --> John Smith

To translate that for your program. You'd want

shell.run("paint "..name) --#You need the space after paint

Or pass each as a separate argument:

shell.run("paint",name)
