Okay, I'm plodding along in a program and I need the MOD function. I open http://localhost:8008/docs/rbhelp.html , and there is no mention of MOD. I start to make my own function called MOD but keep getting errors. I notice that if I rename the function to MODD, it works. Light bulb goes off and I go look at the Liberty basic documentation which isn't easy since your "online documentation" link is not functioning (http://www.libertybasicuniversity.com/lb3docs/index.html > gives a 404). Sure enough MOD exists in Liberty Basic and it functions the same way in RunBasic.
So, how many other functions/statements are not documented in the RunBasic help file???

It's kind of difficult to answer, "How many items did you forget?" The help system is complete and if you find any errors or omissions, please report them in the thread created by Stefan: runbasic.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=bugs&thread=235&page=1MOD is included in the wiki building blocks list: runbasic.wikispaces.com/Building+Blocks

Well, that's kind of an unsatisfying answer, and to say, "The help system is complete," is wrong, period - it's not and I just provided an example. If this were an open source project, I would volunteer to do a comparison between; runbasic.wikispaces.com/Building+Blocks (which is not listed in the help tab) and http://localhost:8008/docs/rbhelp.html but, I think I remember shelling out some money for runbasic just as I did for liberty basic and some Allyce tool boxes. Now, how about updating the local help file? Also, if liberty basic does not have an online documents, how about taking the tabbed link on your website down, you know, the one that says "online documentation" and gives a 404 when clicked. I do like runbasic, I do feel I have gotten my money's worth, but if you are not open source, you need to stop acting like an OS project and listen to legitimate criticism.

Of course we want users to report anything that this missing in the help system. However there's a great deal to be said for having the wiki. Thanks to everyone who works on it. The help for v1.0.1 better than the help for v1.0. It will be better again for v1.0.2. -Carl Well, that's kind of an unsatisfying answer, and to say, "The help system is complete," is wrong, period - it's not and I just provided an example.
