Hi Eros,

As you'v declared you will dedicate some time to upgrading help file, here are few things to correct

Introduction thinBASIC/
Example 3, Example 4
Uses old style MsgBoxes

What's new/
Version Under Development
"Sintax" could be better as "Syntax"

Installation/
Link which should describe how to setup thinBASIC to work with Microsoft IIS Web Server points to blank page

thinBASIC language/Script structure/#INCLUDE
empty parameter table
the include files are using module specific functions, without "mounting" them by USES keyword

Operators/Logical
"AND" truth table has different color than the other logical operators, what a favouritism :)

IF / THEN / ELSE / ELSEIF / END IF topic
Uses old MsgBox style

SELECT CASE
Uses old MsgBox style


Modules


To be able to use a user defined module, it must be placed under one of the following directory:
<thinBasicPath>\Lib\
<thinBasicPath>\Mod\
<thinBasicPath>\Bin\

Seems to be not yet introduced

Uses


USES will search for the requested module following below path sequence:

1. thinBasic path
2. thinBasic path + Lib
3. thinBasic path + Bin
4. thinBasic path + Lib + "thinBasic_" + ModuleName
5. Source script path
6. Source script path + Lib
7. Source script path + Bin
8. Source script path + Lib + "thinBasic_" + ModuleName


The Bin directory is not searched yet

MsgBox
Syntax is updated correctly, but example below still uses the old style


Few Core keywords has empty parameters table

Many topics are using old MsgBox style - just find them by search engine in the helpfile ( using "MsgBox")


Thanks,
Psch

OK, I should have fix all, help online updates, problems fixed.

Regarding thinBASIC language/Script structure/#INCLUDE it is correct that included files have no USES clause because an include file is just copied in the place where the #INCLUDE directive is present so it will benefit of all the source code already loaded.

Let me know and ... thanks.
Eros

Hi,

help file looks fine now, thanks a lot for fast correction.

The "USES" now works fine with both BIN and MOD directory, but "MODULE" seems to be still not modified - but that's detail

Thanks,
Psch
