a few things

[fasecero]

I am relatively new here, and navigating for old topics I found many interesting things, here go 3 for EB, maybe someone got lost them
 
- in the directory help of the program there is a version of the same help file in pdf. 
 
- you can use code folding by means of   
      'region something
      ... 
      (code) 
      ... 
      'endregion

- this is a jewel, if you continually use the Windows Api this program proposed by Larry McCaughn time ago will be of great help. Is called ApiViewer.

fasecero,

Many thanks for the tips and reminders.

As a beginner, although I was vaguely aware of code-folding, I had never tried it myself and didn't know how to operate it.
So your email prompted me to investgate.
And it's really useful, thank you.

But the only mention in the EBasic Help file is in the Using the Editor section, which just lists 'CTRL + KEYPAD *' as the means of using code-folding.
It didn't seem to do anything!   What is it supposed to/does it do?    I searched the forum, but again, no clues.

Knowing that the Editor was Scintilla-based, I eventually found the simple instructions on how to operate code-folding on their website.
Having marked the code using the 'region/'endregion identifiers, you just click on the minus sign in the left gutter alongside the code.
I found it also works with sub-routines.

Unless I have missed something, Paul, it might be useful for newbies like me, to add a single sentence to the next version of the Help file on actually how to operate code-folding.

Code folding is automatic, SUB/ENDSUB, TYPE/ENDTYPE, etc.

What you are referring to is region folding.

And I usually add all the minor advancements to the docs each major point release.

Paul.

OK, thanks Paul.
