I have just bought DB and rather disappointed with the booklet that came with it. Is there a manual that lists all the commands in DB in alphabetical order showing the syntax of each respective commands available?

if you bought the lite version, then there wasn't any help, as i recall, but maybe i am wrong. Check the ordering site.

if me in trouble() and 1=1 then print "but"

There should be a "Dark Basic Users Manual" which in the back has an appendix of all the commands in alphebetical order by catgory. There is also a directory built in

Yeah, if you poke your nose into your "Darkbasic/help" directory, you should be able to find a command listing somewhere. At least for DBClassic, anyway...

Yes, I knew about the listings in the help dir. Everything is there but it would be nice to be able to print it all out in one go, rather than a lot of fuffing around. Guess I will have to do it the long way.

Thanks for all your comments.

P.S. I have the standard DB not the lite or pro.

I prefer the on-computer listing, you just open it up press "Ctrl + F" and type in your command. Skips down and then you can click on it and get a detailed explanation, syntax and example. Nifty.
