Hello,

Ther has been a lot of work recently on the interperter. I was hoping that comunity could help identify any problems in the documention.

I think there might have been some commands that were missed in adding to the docs that have been anounced and posibly other things that need to be added such as gotchas and what not.

Please post up individual threads in the buggs section for any problems you find so I can correct them.
If the doc problems are for related commands please make only one post. If they are for multiple types of commands please break the problem reports up in to seperate posts so I can track and address one by one.



As always thanks for the support. There really arn't too many nice online comunitys like thins one. You guys are awsome.

Hi Michael -

As someone who always finds it easier to refer to printed documentation when working through a new product, I took your on-line Reference into Word and worked my way through it line by line. As you say, there are some inconsistencies and minor errors, as would be expected in something of this complexity! One command that seems to be missing is HTML(). HTMLID() and HTMLVAR are there, but not HTML().

There are some puzzles:

OCT():
Will return the octal value of an integer.
oct({string or var name})

Now, does this mean that the integer value has to be supplied to the function call as a string? Or should the example read

oct({integer or var name})

?

I have re-ordered and reformatted the Reference in Word to suit my needs better, but I can't get much further forward as I can't get at the 3.0 branch (see my other post in this forum!) but if you would be interested, I would be happy to send you what I have so far for your approval, as others may find this format easier to follow.

During the early stages of 3.0axx I documented all commands that were available and whatever you added since then I doubt that you have missed anything as they were for specific reasons.

If you visit my beginners guide on the last page it gives a listing of things available.

If you were to compare against documentation index should give you an idea of what is missing.

Hope this helps,

The doc entry for GOTO needs updating with the recently upgraded GOTO [variable] feature and example.
