Hmmm... Very well...

A) Switch on computer

C) Connect to Internet. Receive any e-mails as well
D) Go to the world famous http://www.nickk.nildram.co.uk/ web site
E) Click on the plug-ins button
F) Download the .INI file from the link in the 'The IDE help text is available here. Save into 'Dark Basic Professional\Editor\Keywords' directory.
G) Scroll down to the line that has the 'Printers' line. Save the printers plug-in into 'Compiler\plugins-user'
H) Scroll right to the 4th column. Save the first 'Here' file (DBPro Test program) somewhere.
I) Scroll right to the 5th column. Save the 'Here' file (constants) into the same place as the file from Part H.
J) Double-click on the TestPrinter.dba file. When it asks if you want to create a project for the file say 'Yes'
K) In the Projects section, select files.

There is a file called keywords.ini in the editor/frontend folder, do I add the text to that file at the end or replace?

Ok I download constant files and try to put them into my program but it asks if I want to replace main program!!?

It doesn't just insert into the list.

Hmmmm

These instructions are not 100% accurate on my computer for some reason.

The keywords200.ini shouldn't exist on your machine (unless you downloaded it at some other time), so it should just replace whether is there.

Cut and paste the constants into the main program - should be easier for you.

putting the constants program into the main is easier

The keywords file is not the same as the one off your site, I've pasted it below, also should it go in the frontend folder?

It's a big folder, emailed it you instead but it seems to be all the DBPro commands.

Also just noticed your file says keywords200 and the one I have is just keywords, do I have both off them in the frontend folder?

You need the main keywords.ini file if you want syntax checking...
They both normally go into \Dark Basic Professional\Editor\Keywords
