Hi Aurel. Thanks for this program.
But how do you get along without keystroke shortcuts in this editor? :O
Some people are very used to pressing [CTRL][O] to open a source-code file. In this editor it inserts the CHR$(15) but that should have been the "sun" in CP437...
Also for example, the find-and-replace dialog could use a "Cancel" button instead of causing the user to click the "X" on the top-right corner.
If the compiler is not ready yet then it might make better sense to disable the toolbar icon, so that somebody accidentally doesn't click on it and becomes annoyed by the dialog.
Many of the programs are good, but some people would consider it rude there is no "Press [ESC] to quit" or something else where one doesn't have to use the mouse. It's most obvious from the "dragon" example (cool graphics!) the interpreter at least needs to do like QB64 giving a prompt "Press any key to exit" and then close the graphic window. It's a bit unsettling the interpreter has to create a graphics window even to use PRINT, but it works.
The prime number example had a small problem with display on my computer. Maybe it works differently on Windows.
Will have to test this on Windows when I could get off my arse for it. So far tested it on Spiral Linux KDE (Debian clone with "Bullseye" base which is now "oldstable").
This will need some time for me to get used to, it's different enough from BASIC.
