I think I read somewhere that the DBPro package ships with a printed manual? I'm not sure if it does or not. If so, is it as helpful as the in-program help(at least I think that db1's help file was really great). Thanks in advance.

Hi! I ordered DBPro and it shipped to me with 2 manuals,

1: A small one inside the DVD case, covering building a simple FPS example game. I didn't find this much help but a complete beginner may have...

2: A larger ring bound manual in the big box, which is basically a printed version of the help-commands, Eg the name of commands, what they do, and a simple Syntax for how to use them. Personally I find this very helpful

I agree that the DB1 help file was great, and be assured that in DBPro its nigh on Identical, albeit in a Windows setting and with the extra commands added.

The only negative point is that you STILL can't highlight the syntax examples, then copy and paste them into your program. - Not even with Ctrl+c/v! Grrr Its a minor point but it annoys me! But in aswer to your question, yes it contains pretty good manuals, but for beginner users, more in depth beginners tutorials would be good

No problem

I've been fiddling around and there IS a little copy and paste icon in the web-bar style bit of the help menu which I didn't initially notice, and obviously you can also rightclick and choose copy to clipboard... BUT my point still stands, in the help menus you can't copy with Ctrl+C and thats the way I always do it!
