I've reached a stone wall on the debugger development.  I've turned the source code over to LarryS to see if he can get me going again.

In the mean time I've started looking at the help manual.
With all the additional features in the new IDE it will take me a while to get a new manual ready...
Comes with the territory.

Made 2 decisions (with LarryS' approval):

1. Will merge the ControlPak help file into the IWBasic Users Guide
2. The CONTROLS section will have a separate section for EVERY available control. In each section will be all the included commands available for that specific control.  This will create a lot of redundant information but it will provide 'one stop shopping' when looking for info about a control. (This was previously suggested by user who has moved on)

Larry,

That's a good idea with the controls. Will you be putting them into relevant sections,
listview controls, edit controls, etc?

Each control type will have its own section with all its pertinent info.

More typing for you, easier research for us. Good idea.
