Moving from Basic Stamp and MIKROE basic to PicBasic PRO

[Acetronics2]

For example, their reference book has black bold letters for main text, but code samples are given with thin CYAN color letters on YELLOW background - almost unreadable.

Could you give a link to what you're talking about???

I didn't see anything looking to what you describe here ... for EasyPic 7 board.

Considering the Mk Basic Pro reference Manual ... I find there such colors, but have no difficulties to read it on my screen.

Printing it on a monochrome Black laser printer could be somewhat difficult to read ... Ok, but it's not THEIR problem, just YOURS ...
I already asked them for a paper manual ... ( yes, I did !!! ). The answer was ... " if enough people is Ok to pay for postage and printing, we'll do it ... "

Will you ???

I gave the .pdf file to my local print shop ( where students have their school end-of-year-reports printed @ low rates ...), and it didn't cost me too much to get a nice - in colours - book for Mk C.

a " no cost " solution (!) is obviously to hit the " HELP " button of the compiler or further to download the example projects from here: http://www.libstock.com/

Yess ... once more "RTFM" ...

Browsing their site ... you could have found: http://www.mikroe.com/products/view/...ming-in-basic/ also available as a printed book for 24 $ ...

@Henrik

But in general I agree, their documentation LOOKS great but the details are missing an many cases

you're forgetting here they have a really great forum with numerous " official " guys to answer the details missing.
YES ! I do agree the only question never answered is " when will Mk xxx compiler/IDE be bugless released " ...
