Hello Dimas,
As always, there is some guys who don't like new programs, but it's
not a problem :-).

Yes, tell me why...

Hoho, the Print command has been forgotten. And you know what,
now it's IN the guide (some other little bug have been removed too).
> -INPUT missed?
> Sure, it has to have it, but no reference for such a command anywhere...
Why ? Because there is no command like that for now. It will come.
> -Can ASM be included?
No.
> If so, where is explained?
You can't. But you can build your own ASM routine in an external lib
very, very, very easely. PureBasic libraries are infinite, so... But Inline
ASM will be added one day.

Reserve memory to do what ? You can't access external libraries for now.
It will come. Soooon.

Go to the PC world ? I'm on the Amiga since 10 years, and If I move to
the PC world now, I'm really stupid to not have do it before...
Else yes, the editor isn't finished but if you have GoldED it could
do the job during this time (a plugin is near from finsihed)

Ok :)
