Those of us who already have a beta version of the IDE, do we need to unistall the beta version before installing the non-beta version?

    Paul,

    Your choice; the new software will install itself in a new directory by version number.

    I'm curious, it's 0.95, and I don't see the identation arrows Jeff had shown one day. Also, eh hem, no Terminal for debugging or other uses. Is there a V1.0 coming in the near future?

    Sorry to post here, but it seems our beta group has been shut down.

    Hi Marty,

    Don't break for dinner just yet.

    CTRL-I toggles the indentation arrows on and off. Terminal for debugging? Not yet. But you can show us how to get around that detail, I'm sure!

    Ken,

    I downloaded & installed the software to take a look. I tried Ctrl-I, but nothing happened. System is Win2KPro, SP4+updates.

    I loaded Jon's BlinkLed.spin, <CRTL-I> seems to work on XP SP2

    Seems to work on my W2K SP4 Box also.

    Dang, too late, took a shower. Cool on ctrl-i... though playing critic, they still won't help when students make a mess of indents, it just reinforces what the indents already show. But it does look nice! I love the indent feature of the language, just get worried how much I'll time I'll spend debugging other code... "now when this condition is true, what code did you mean to make run....??"

    Terminal? Open up the Stamp Editor's Debug Window, just be ready to play the connection game! I've had years of experience with that game with StampPlot [noparse]:)[/noparse]

    My mistake, CTRL-I works here, too.

    However, I can't seem to find a way to get the line numbers, or a Preferences selection under the Edit menu.

    As a trivial but annoying "feature", like the STAMP counterpart, the IDE complains about no media in removeable drives on startup. I realize that if this is our biggest problem, we have it made!

    CTRL-N turns on line numbers.· As for your other question those features are not yet implemented, hence the 0.95 version.

    There is a help file for the IDE with this preliminary release, and chapters 1 and 2 are included (the help file is intended to follow the docs, near verbatim). The only thing not available is the Preferences dialog because features are being added to it.
