Tutorial and version conflict

[russ]

New to Liberty Basic. I used Basic last on an Apple II back at the dawn of civilization and can safely say I have lost proficiency.

First: I downloaded the free version first and then downloaded the  pro version without removing it. The result is that the tutorials in the free version disappeared and the tutorials in the pro version do not have example codes. If I try to now remove the free version it warns that I  will be taking out shared files.  Any advise to recover the  tutorials? Any advise on which version to actually use going forward?

Second: It seems that the HELP files should have a search function to look up  commands,  etc. If it has one I cannot find it. Any advice?

Recent LB (4.5.1) has help in HTML format
It has left "contents" frame and right "detail"

So just put focus in "contents" (click a mouse there)and search with Ctrl F
(or just scroll down. Last section is "Keywords in Alphabetical Order")

please be more specific
What is your Windows version?
What is "free version"?
What is "pro version"?

Current version of LB is 4.5.1

We had a contest to produce our own liberty BASIC programs to search the help system.

You may also use the following program to create your own copy of compiled help that is easily searchable.

Thanks for the reference to a search function in HELP. This seems to indicate that 4.5.1 has more useful features than PRO V 4.04.
By Free version I meant Version 4.5.1 which is a free download.
By Pro version I meant PRO version 4.04 which requires payment.

Forgot to add: I am running Windows 10.

No. 
Pro version has more features (though "usefulness" differ with users)
But just now, Pro version lags one version behind.
But it looks like not for long, see here
