I know everyone hates me because I'm picky about spelling and grammar, but I thought this one took the biscuit.

I was searching for a solution to why changing the diffuse of a sprite many times in a loop didn't seem to work as expected when I found this as the description for the Blue value:
Quote: "
Blue Value

Integer
The bed component value ranges are 0 to 255, with 255 being completely full and 0 being no color use"

I burst out laughing when I realised it did actually say bed instead of blue. xD

255 makes a full bed!

What, never heard of a 255-way?

well, Lee probably just copied and pasted from the red one, but got bored and decided not to finish typing "blue".

Or he was tired of writing help files and looked over at his office bed while typing.

Well, how do you explain Bob? That has to be the most classic example.

^Yes. I could just imagine him half asleep, looking longingly at his bed as he wrote that help file.

Radical hamsters skipping furiously into the blue ether, questioning their very existence while breathing out the bitter fog of smoked haddock.

Looking through any of the help files, Id say Lee did that a lot . Spelling mistakes, tonnes of code mistakes, intense lack of explanations... the entire thing is just one giant joke . Like I said before, someone needs to write a help file on writing help files, and send it off to Lee and the crew.

Don't worry, we can now kit any key:
Quote: "rem Set an exit prompt
exit prompt "Exit","Prompt"
print "Done. Kit Any Key"
wait key
do
loop
end"

(Also, kitting any key wouldn't exit the program... - to see the command in action you'd have to press escape.)

This is rather funny! I wonder if Lee was actually in bed while he was writing the help files...
