I have been using Dark Basic for Awhile now and I still have to go through the help to research commands. What does bother me is that I have to spend lots of time scrolling through looking for a particular category or Command. Also by adding on plugins, the Help files become more and more clustered.

So what I did was sub-divide the Main Command.HTM file into two columns for Standard Commands and ADD ON Commands. I am thinking about this orientation since more people using wide-screen monitors now. I also converted the MS Access Database plugin DOC over to a HTML so it can be linked in with the Professional help. I have given thought about doing the same with the Index and other help files that have a long list.

If you download this command.htm help file, backup your original first.

Yes, sometimes it is hard to find the command you are looking for. Shame I don't have a widescreen monitor. Most of the time though I have a rough idea of the Command that I am looking for, so I type the name in the Editor, and press F1. But say I type...

Colour Object

and not...

Color Object

... it doesn't work.

It would be good if F1 guessed what I was trying to find. Or if someone changed the search engine to include part words.
