I seem to be missing commands, DBP just doesnt recognize them, I bought it on CD, installed it, and well thats all.

I get errors like
"Could not determine parameter type of "net message string$()" at line whatever"
with commands such as net message string (and I bought dbp to make multiplayer games!!), the "&" command which I never knew existed, but saw in a DBP snippet, and a few others.
Yes I am using them right, I've tried them in bout a 100 different ways, and I've got some in snippets which people made that worked.

I'm running
windows ME
pent4 1.4ghz
128mb Rambus ram
128mb radeon gfx card (which I just upgraded to and actuelly makes matrices slower than my old 32mb card, but thats a whole nother story)

Can anyone help me??

heres a lil bit I pulled from a code:

get net message
while net message exists()=1
s$=net message string()
x3=Instr(0,s$,"|")
move2=val(left$(s$,x3))
shift2=val(right$(s$,(len(s$)-x3)))
x2=x2+move2
get net message
endwhile

What editor patchs & where can I get them? I just downloaded main 3.1 patch, thought it patched everything..

The problem is that the NET MESSAGE STRING() function should in fact end with a $.

Looks like the manual/editor/help are all wrong here.

No. NET MESSAGE STRING$().

I can't get it to work in dbpro without it. I'm using patch 3.1 if that makes any difference.

Also, my command extraction tool agrees with me.
