I have a simple question how I can translate from powerbasic "command$"
powerbasic manual says:
Return the command-line arguments used to start the program
COMMAND$ returns everything that was typed following the program name.
If Trim$(COMMAND$) = "" Then
to thinbasic ? anybody can help ?

I've moved this post from 3rd party tool forum to thinBasic language forum. More appropriate.
Equivalent of COMMAND$ in thinBasic is inside OS module.
Check OS_GetCommand (http://www.thinbasic.com/public/products/thinBasic/help/html/os_getcommand.htm), OS_GetCommands (http://www.thinbasic.com/public/products/thinBasic/help/html/os_getcommands.htm)
and example in \thinBasic\SampleScripts\OS\OS_SampleCommandLine.tbasic

Eros,
I love your online help system. Did you write it yourself? Very well done!

thinBasic help is written manually using Help&Manual (http://www.ec-software.com/products_hm_overview.html) application.
Still very incomplete in many parts but I will work on it.
Many users helped me in sending text of some topics.

Nice application but a little too expensive for an open source project I'm already funding out of my own pocket.
