Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Hi, the latest version of MMBasic has resulted in a number of changes to the latest Quick Reference card.

As the language has become more feature-rich, keeping the reference in a double-sided, foldable card format has become a challenge. A few items have been dropped (all obsolete commands and functions for example), and a few of the descriptions are a little more terse/compact than would be ideal, but the purpose is a quick lookup for syntax/commands by function; while the ultimate source of reference remains Geoff's terrific manuals.

On the topic of the latest manual, one small error in the 3.1 version:

[code]LOCAL, variable [,variables][/code]

should probably be:

[code]LOCAL variable [,variables][/code]

Note the extraneous comma...

Any errors, omissions, etc. in the Quick Reference card - please let me know and I'll address as soon as I can.

Post it, link to it as you please... Like it on Facebook... Tweet about it... put a poster up in your local IGA. Even print it, shred it and use it as hamster bedding - I don't really mind.

Cheers,

crackerjack.

Thanks for spotting that one Crackerjack. Editing is very like that old video game where every time you whack a hedgehog down its hole, another two pop up that weren't there when you first looked.

I love the card, but how long will it be before we'll need a three-sided piece of paper to fit all the new bits on?
