Command list

I find the IDE essentially useful, but I also find a list endlessly useful as well. My one problem with the IDE is the lack of auto-complete and suggestions. I might want the keyword _SNDRAWLEN, but not remember it enough to type it into the IDE, and _SNDLEN won't pull up any relevant information for me, as it's not a keyword at all...

The IDE helps with parameters and remembering what goes where (PutImage would be a real PITA without it), but a list is something you can scan down quickly and look for proper spelling and quick usage details to help you get to the point where the IDE will fill in the rest of the blanks for you.

There is also "Keywords by Usage" from the main Wiki Page.

It will give lists of Keywords according to what function they perform. You don't have to know the Keyword, just what you want to do. Something with Files?, Something with Printing?, Something with Images? there are a number of categories to explore.

Awesome list Steve and JRace! I've always wondered the same thing but never asked. Wiki and other people's examples were always like finding bits of gold. Smile
