Hiho.

There are some times when i need the syntax of a command or need to search something in the manual. Is there a manual in PDF or CHM format where we can search for specific words? This would really help. the online manual won't help in that case. Or did i miss something?

You can search the manual that you get by pressing the Help button in your Zorro window.

Nah, don't be embarrased, this stuff is complex. Trying to take care of all the details, sooner or later we all miss the most basic stuff in front of our eyes.

One other way to get more help is to type the function/variable in the editor (if you know it's name up front) and let the editor context help find and offer you more explanation. Most of the time it works well, although sometimes not so well. But, it's been very helpful to me during my first steps.

Also, it seems that documentation in PDF format is a frequently requested feature, I might give it a shot at creating such a PDF later today. I suppose with todays smartphones it's quite possible to browse Zorro documentation on the beach, if and when bikinis around finally become boring. grin

Oh. Acid. Beach? Bikinis? What you are talking about blush
Bikinis boring? You must be there for ages...
Hope that someday i have the time to sit beside you and we both watch bikins and looking at our live accounts. Both making us smile grin

Or NOT... I give up. jcl certainly spent lots of time creating nice hyperlinks and graphs to make documentation useful, and I just couldn't find ONE bloody converter that could preserve all that usefulness, after installing and testing at least 6 of them! Either they have working hyperlinks, but do not preserve images or they have nicely embedded images and not a one working link. Seems like technology of converting chm's to pdf's is not yet mature in 21st century. Bummer!

I certainly haven't exhausted all existing converters, so if anybody has plenty of time, they could make another attempt. But, I just got bored... no pdf today, my love has gone away...

Hey, that's a nice idea! I like the way you're thinking. grin

We'll use small screens (that's why the Zorro's window is small) and find beaches with chicks that wear small bikinis. Only our accounts will be big and fat. grin
