    PS@ Dave

    Don't you think I should add " Need Help " in my signature validity conditions ???
    Yup, need help understanding data sheet.

    I think Megahertz is doing fine, sometimes know where to look is a bit different than knowing what to look for.

    I just spent parts of two days trouble-shooting a machine. Tried this and that, read the manual, tried other stuff, back to the manual.....
    Then the great thought hit me... I wonder if that cable on the floor should be plugged into something

    Hi, Dave

    This episode of our tremendous adventures lits a little light in my head ...

    Would be a nice thing to get the Holy manual opened at the convenient page just clicking for "Help" in our IDEs ... ( say " mouseover " + a keystroke on KB )

    Always useful to have a look to function parameters ...

    Hope IDE Creators read that post ... ( thoughts to my overseas friends ...)

    At one time Jeremy and I was working on a code editor with some automated fill functions but we did not get very far before other things put it on the back burner. We was using a flavor of Basic.

    Then I sorta started a cross platform editor in Python but the same thing happened, got to busy to work on it.

    Normet has the "fineline" editor he working on.

    I wonder how many around here would be interested in an open source, cross platform, community project?

    I saw one nice working " IDE " ...

    Called PICabc ... limited to 16F84 and assembler ...

    http://www.abc-micro.co.rs/

    ftp://ftp.chatnfiles.com/Microforum/...ABC/PICABC.EXE ( demo ...)

    but the concept is rather interesting ...

    to be honest, I must say the MiKroElektronika IDE is really handy here ...

    I know one other IDE " on the rail " but was asked not to talk about it ...
