Well, i have a few questions about DBPro:

1) Can i change the output font to a TTF or FON file?
2) How can i manipulate the (font and background) colors, with more spectrum variety (hex colors or something like that)?
3) How can i create a console-ish input character? You know... remember back in the old days, where your computer showed that flashing character on-screen, waiting for you to type? How can i create that?
4) Where can i find some internet connection examples? For example: accessing the contents of a XML file on site.com/file.xml and displaying it's contents on-screen?
5) What about assigning contents from online XML files to variables?

Well, this is actually the board for DarkBASIC Classic, but I think I can answer some of these questions.

1.) Not sure, you can either have the user install it as a font first, or you might be able to convert it into a bitmap font (search for it)
2.) INK changes the colors. I think you can use hex values like
INK %VALUE,%VALUE (% denotes a hex value)
otherwise you'll have to convert them to RGB.
3.) Try simply drawing a box at the end of the text, clearing it, drawing it, etc...
4.) Check out FTP commands maybe? I'm not sure about that one.
