Hello.

There have been several good changes to ESP BASIC over the past few months. At this point I believe things are stabilizing a bit in the new 2.0 alpha releases. There will be some slight changes to the syntax of some of the commands going forward but for now it seems that we have a good working version. Once there is a bit more feed back on the latest build I think it will move to being beta.

See the new UDP commands Cicciocb added here

UDP allows for very fast esp to esp or esp to pc communication for purposes of sending commands and feed back.

The list of new commands is a great help.

Seeing as the commands list will likely be an important reference for people, it might be better to avoid confusion by not adding the colon after each listed command. For similar reasons it might be an idea to add an initial explanation that the use of curly braces in the help explanations is not actually part of the commands syntax.

For commands whose sysntax has changed from V1xx to V2 like the print commands now using the "&" concatenation character, it might be worth including both old and new syntaxs together with either the old or new highlighted in different a colour.

Just a minor typo for the instr() entry that I noticed...

instr():

Will return location of a sub string within a string.

len({string or var name},{string or var name to locate})
