For anyone that has not read the Team Requests, I am trying to create a free DarkBasic Guide to replace the Manual that comes with the program. The manual lacks full explanation of a lot of the parameters, and seems to leave a lot of question on commands.

I could really use some the real experts showing off their DBpro skill on this project. This book could answer a lot of forum questions, and your efforts would really be appreciated by all.

Might I suggest a similar approach to that of the php docs system?

example : http://www.php.net/print_r

A concise syntax guide is cool, but like you say - it isn't always enough. However, while tutorials can be nice, they always seem to be pitched at the wrong angle. It takes you an hour to read through a tutorial, just to let it get to the point!

I often find that the user submitted comments present the quickest answers for intermediate/advanced users; it always seems that someone else has run into a similar problem If you want help with an automated comment submission system, drop me a line, or pop into the IRC channel (#darkbasic on coolchat).

Can I ask you a Question?
What is it?
It's an interrogative form of sentence, used to test knowledge. But that's not important right now.

Thanks adr,
I am still contemplating a distribution system for the book when it is completed, and your ideas is a very viable solution. I may even do both and satisfy everyone. A nice printable hard copy is also good to take along to read, when away from your PC.

Though with out a finished project distribution remains a moot point. I would still welcome anyones help on this project. New ideas and talent from the community could make this a GREAT project that will be used my many.
