Yes, I can see THINBASIC in the file types box

I attachted the INI file as TXT, otherwise I couldn't upload it here

Hi Martin,

only difference I can see is that you dont have the [THINBASIC] section on the end but in the middle, and that you have the language set to NEDERLANDS.

I would recommend to check if ThinBASIC.ini is still really in Syntax directory, I don't see what else could be wrong

Hi Petr, I just moved the thinbasic section to the bottom and set language to english, but without succes. Also thinbasic.ini is in the Syntax directory and pspad.ini is stored in C:\Documents and Settings\Martin\Application Data\PSpad

But no problem, i can still use ThinAir, as long as I don't press CTRL Z

I am sorry to hear that.

I uninstalled PSPad, and did everything from scratch to make sure the approach will work for everyone

Petr:

I uninstalled PSpad, downloaded the most recent version, and reinstalled it.

After the reinstall, and before I made any of your changes, I looked at the PSpad.INI file in the Application Data/PSpad subdirectory and noticed there was already a [THINBASIC] section appended at its end. I removed it and added the [THINBASIC] section which you'r code generated for me on my system and modified it to suite the location of the thinBasic.exe and HELP files. With this configuration, the highlighting was working, but I still could not get the CTRL+F9 to work. So I removed the [THINBASIC] section of the PSpad.INI file replaced it with the [THINBASIC] section I had previously removed. After updating this version of [THINBASIC] to properly reflect where thinBasic.exe and its HELP files were located on my PC, I tried using CTRL+F9 again. SUCCESS! This time everything worked OK. Attached are the two different versions of the [THINBASIC] sections I was working with.

THINBASIC_1.TXT is the version created using your generator (doesn't work)

THINBASIC_2.TXT is the version that was apparently provided during the PSpad install process (works).

You can see the slight differences by comparing the two files.
I hope this is helpful.

Hi Don,

thanks for your tests, it seems I forgot to fill Compilator run item.
I updated the text in first post.


Thanks!,
Petr
