Context help comes in handy occasionally (for me anyway), and in "2" I realised that there was no help on Euphoria keywords. Press F1 over a function call (magenta or green in the EECS colours) and you'll get = the LIBRARY.DOC section on that function in a help window. F1 over a = keyword now tells you as such and asks if you'd like to load REFMAN.DOC. = There's no real individual method of locating keyword definitions in REFMAN. The problem with "if" is that it's shorter than the 3 character limit = I put on the F1 word checker! :-S
Suggestions for "5" anyone? I'm using 4 and haven't encountered the LFN bug. But I try to stick with = 8.3 format if I can help it. I have some suggestions.. .. Syntax coloring for user defined routines. All the routines in the = included files and main soruce code. .. List the include file routines in the subs list as well .. Seperate lists for global and local routines .. List Global Variables .. List Constants, Global and local Can't think of the others right now.. I'll get back to ya.. :) Chris ------=_NextPart_000_0086_01BFDD2C.53683120 charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content=3D"text/html; charset=3Diso-8859-1" = http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META content=3D"MSHTML 5.00.2314.1000" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <BLOCKQUOTE=20 style=3D"BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: = 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV style=3D"FONT: 10pt arial">----- Original Message ----- </DIV> <DIV=20 style=3D"BACKGROUND: #e4e4e4; FONT: 10pt arial; font-color: = black"><B>From:</B>=20 <A href=3D"mailto:cyrek at BIGFOOT.COM" title=3Dcyrek at BIGFOOT.COM>Carl R. = White</A>=20 </DIV> <DIV style=3D"FONT: 10pt arial"><B>To:</B> <A=20 href=3D"mailto:EUPHORIA at LISTSERV.MUOHIO.EDU"=20 title=3DEUPHORIA at LISTSERV.MUOHIO.EDU>EUPHORIA at LISTSERV.MUOHIO.EDU</A> = </DIV> <DIV style=3D"FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Sent:</B> Friday, June 23, 2000 = 8:40 AM</DIV> <DIV style=3D"FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> Re: EE:CS subs listing = bug</DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV> <DIV>On Thu, 22 Jun 2000 09:19:51 -0500, C.
