RE: Help with Help - PhilOfPerth - 09-27-2022
Late Extra:
I worked out how to do the config.ini trick, and this seems to have worked.
I have no idea how or why that protocol would have changed, as I never look at such intimate details!! Fingers crossed!
Thanks for the help.

Glad that trick worked, and its not your fault. We have https: by default there, and it worked until now, but obviously the latest Windows updates changed that.
However, my recommendation below for updating QB64 stands, really.
Sorry to tell you that, but your version 0.8.2 is ancient, the help system got lots of fixes and enhancements since. I strongly recomment to update to at least v3.0.0 to get all those help fixes, but even better to get the latest v3.2.1, then you're really up to date.
Note that the folder is named qb64pe and the executable qb64pe.exe respectively since v3.0.0, but that's only a name change, it's the same old QB64 as you know it.

Some people resist backing up and upgrading for a good reason. (what is the OS most of you are running under?) It would have involved deleting the IDE options file or editing. What if a fresh start didn't fix the issue? The lesson learned here is that the v0.8 was while things were being fixed away from the "dot-rip". Unfortunately there are still many users not moving up from there to QB64PE v3 for their own reasons.
I was trying to help, although this issue never affected me since I don't use the IDE except to format code to post on these forums. :/

People resist change. All you can do is make the suggestions. I've always suggested to people to update their IDE. Updating fixes most issues. Besides, it would be an absolute pain in the ass if developers (RhoSigma, Matt, and Steve) had to support outdated versions indefinitely because some people refuse to update.

Now sporting v 3.2.1!
Wow, hold on to your seat!
I see some cosmetic changes, but haven't challenged it enough yet to see any real changes. Maybe when I get past Hello World I'll see the differences.

Indeed, "Hello World" pretty much works the same
When you reach image and sound stuff some day, you'll find lots of new supported file formats then and speed improvements especially for image loading.

@RhoSigma: You mean there are more file formats than .bas and .exe? Wow, scary!
Actually, SCREEN (1,1,0 ) and SCREEN(1,1,1) etc. are my next target. Small steps!

Nothing wrong with small steps
Did you try that the help system works for you, if not you may have to do the https: to http: trick again in internal/config.ini, in case of other problems let us know...
