Which version of thinBasic for SPFLite?

[Benjamin]

I am learning thinBasic, first in order to write macros for SPFLite*, and then later to use it for general programming. Which should I focus on first? The console version, or the "Windows" version?

*SPFLite is a text editor that uses thinBasic as its scripting language

Or both at the same time?

thinBasic comes with 2 executables:

• thinBasic.exe
• thinBasicc.exe

You can use thinBasic.exe both for scripts with developing Windows or just using a console for output or both at the same time.

thinBasicc.exe is a pure console and is meant only for those in need to capture standard output and redirect (pipe) to some other process of file

So if you do not need to redirect any output, just use thinBasic.exe

IN attached example you can see an example of 3 windows and a console.
Console is just used to output some events occurring into windows.

SPFLite uses thinCore.dll that is the main thinBasic Core Language.
Plus few of the many thinBasic modules you can have when installing thinBasic alone.
