Norm, here are two suggested changes to your next version of FL...MCS already does this and it is handy:
1) Put a link in the HELP menu to the forum at http://www.picbasic.co.uk/forum/forum.php
2) Put a link in the HELP menu to your FL URL at http://www.norm-online.net/FineLineIDE.php
Having these readily available while using the IDE saves the time of opening up a browser and entering these URLs when you are trying to debug code in the FL editor.

I really like using FL. I am especially thankful for the way you implemented the interface to the EasyPIC6 so that I can use the following chain automatically from FL to program code into my EasyPIC6: FL editor, MSASM assembler, PBPro compiler, MikroFLASH programmer. This saves so much time and makes the coding/programming process a piece of cake with an EasyPIC6. Good job!
Hi Norm,
Thanks for that, I hadn't spotted the setups were configurable. However, I cannot get FL to use any programmer except the first one in the list. So I changed the first one to the Presto.
If UP is allready open with the correct device allready selected, the filename is picked up and performs an erase, programme and verification fine. (command line switches field empty). If I add /part $target-device$ it doesn't change to the selected device as if its ignoring the switch. The filename is picked up without any switch options!
If UP is not open, a popup window opens and asks for the device type. If I enter the device, UP will only blank check without erasing or programming the part. All switch options are ignored.
Is there an option to not convert tabs to spaces? I like working with tabs and would like to continue so.
STOP PRESS.
Having closed FL and re-opening, I now get the error message "no previous picbasic pro programming" and closes the session when attempting programming.
Any suggestions?

Just a guess but try /part target-device
Keep trying variations.
Tabs don't work well with FL as each tab width is different depending on the line above indentation.
This makes it much slower to determine the start point for drawing the FineLine if-endif brackets.
The tab key will still work in FL however it will write/save in spaces rather than a variable width tab.
I'll try a line by line tab width measurement for the next version as an option however to see if it is feasible.
"no previous picbasicpro programming" is a message displayed when pressing the Program Only button before having first compiled.
Try compile and program first.

Full tabs compatibility option has been added to the next version of FL!
