Help file update request

[Petr Schreiber]

Hi,

I had a quick look to the thinBASIC help file (Version 1.0.1.1013). I like the style the documentation is designed , but I miss description for quite a high number of topics. Since the last help update was on 13th June of 2005, it could be nice to make a new one, because although this language has big power, with no "key" to it, it's sometimes hard to understand it.



So here is the list of issues:


These statements are a bit weak documented:

ThinBasic language/Program flow/
* Exit, Iterate

ThinBasic language/Program flow/Select/
* SelectExpression, IsTrue, IsFalse, Sleep, DoEvents

ThinBasic language/Modules/OS(Operating System)/
* OS_GetSpecialFolder, OS_GetSystemDir, OS_GetTempDir
* OS_GetWindowsDir, OS_IeVersion, OS_WinVersionText
* OS_Shell_FileOperation

ThinBasic language/Modules/TcpUdp/
* TCP_Functions, TCP_Equates
* UDP_Functions


These modules has very tiny documentation:
* LL, INI, INET, WinUtils, Registry, BIFF

Other:
* In Console module there is gray table of parameters for functions, which don't have any

* "Intro" pages like "What's new" ( but thanks for mention me in "Thanks to" section :) ), "thinBASIC language", "Arithmetic", "Comparsion", "Logical", "Program Flow" has usually no text at all ( excepting header, footer or "Enter topic text here" )


Note. I didn't included "---To be finished: Other" section for these tests

Thanks, Psch

Wow Psch, you are doing a grat job! Thanks.

Well, regarding help file, that's the situation:
almost all of the part of the help are "under construction". Also many modules are still under construction. We are continuously changing them adding and changing features. We are also developing some new important modules mainly regarding ADO, ODBC, PDF.

We have planned to release a new version of thinBasic every 3/4 weeks so every release will have better material.

So, keep in touch :)

Thanks again.
