I agree there is a gap in the FB documentation, but it's not at the most
elementary level. The FB documentation shouldn't have to teach how to
use a Mac. However, there is a huge gap between the "Learning" manual
that covers things like For/Next loops and the Reference Manual. I
taught myself to program in AppleSoft on an old Apple II. I learned the
basics and nothing more. It's very frustrating to know the most basic
BASIC programming without any obvious easy transition to the next step.
I read the the posts to this group but I rarely understand them. I
suspect there are a lot of other customers or potential customers in the
same boat.
