Classes would be a bit difficult, but the docu,mentation whilst adequate for those with other programming experience, leaves alot to the imagination, and does not give sufficient detail on how how each function works. I have printed out the manual and had it bound, and on many pages, especially serial coms, I have pencilled notes as to pitfalls, and tricks one needs to know. These SHOULD be in the documentation. neil "tad heckaman.com" wrote: > Yes, the document could be improved a bit and have some tutorial or > class to learn it. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Neil Jepsen > To: > Sent: Monday, December 31, 2001 4:39 PM > Subject: Re: [BasicX] Re: BasicX BX28 > Theres nothing wrong with the language...the documents could be > improved > though > > "tad heckaman.com" wrote: > > > Here is MY wish list: > > I would like to see a basicX-24 with an Ethernet port.

That would work too. I don't need all the functionality of the SP. If I could hook up the BX-24 to a network hub and just send and receive UDP data to another BX-24 or another computer I would be happy. I would kind of use it like I would use rs-232, but just using the network to connect the devices.

Yes, the document could be improved a bit and have some tutorial or class to learn it. ----- Original Message ----- From: Neil Jepsen To: Sent: Monday, December 31, 2001 4:39 PM Subject: Re: [BasicX] Re: BasicX BX28 Theres nothing wrong with the language...the documents could be improved though "tad heckaman.com" wrote: > Here is MY wish list: > I would like to see a basicX-24 with an Ethernet port.
