The updated PDF manual version 5.8 is available in the DropBox-folder
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/zpsvd55g1iyj ... AdqGa?dl=0
or in short:
http://bit.ly/1DN8gYw
Version 5.8 is an update according to Dropbox-requirements
The manual is extended with:
- example on musical quarter notes and chords on page 60
"Smart Basic Manual 5-8.pdf" is in size A5, which fits perfectly on iPad and can be used to search certain items.
The booklet-version on A4 is no longer supported.
Adobe Reader has facilities to generate the booklet version on A4-pages. It should also fit on 'US legal' size.
Modification date of the manual is on the front cover.

Hi,
great document, but...
the link on page 45 (documents: Image composition modes...) is broken. The docs are no longer available.
Greetings
Matthias

The manual has been updated with a note on function definition with string as returnvalue on page 15
If the return-value is a string, then the function-name should end with '$'.
Example:
Code: Select all
DEF spaces$(n) ' return string with n spaces
a$=""
FOR i=1 TO n
a$&=" "
NEXT i
RETURN a$
END DEF

A great manual.
Only discovered Smart Basic a few days ago and wanted a quick reference to all the terms so I put together a simple search utility.
