Who, learning QB64pe, is going to read about Order of Operations via a search of the forums versus reading the documentation in the wiki?  (Or maybe documentation is out of fashion and I need to get with the times.)

Meh.  I bow out of this discussion and leave it to the rest of the community to figure it out.

Man, the age of the internet and instant gratification is rampant anymore.  The original post is all of 6 hours old, and you're already "bowing out of this discussion"?  RhoSigma is our main wiki maintainer and he's usually here much later in the evening/night due to the timezone in which he lives.  You've got to give folks time to see, verify, and respond to your posts, rather than just expecting to see the documentation change instantly.

The only way you'll ever see instant wiki updates is if you sign up and become an editor for the wiki yourself.  As much as you care about documentation, it seems like it'd be something right up your alley.  Let Rho know if you're interested and he'll pass you whatever login details you need to be able to make the changes yourself.

Nah, I had no expectations.

The resulting amount of effort put into replies when I thought it would just be a simple fix to the documentation surprised me and became quickly overwhelming.  For my own peace of mind, I had to bow out.  I don't expect anybody to understand it, and I don't have the energy to explain it.

As for the wiki, I tried once.  Bad experience.  Never again.  The process is too complicated for me, and my desire to make that documentation work for my needs is too strong.
