I have Carl's book and I keep the LB help file open on my desktop, however, I sometimes see references in this forum to functions that I've not seen before. The immediate examples that come to mind are httpget$() and replstr$(). Is there a document or a web page that shows ALL of the commands and functions? That would be really helpful as I stumble through new projects.
On a related note, I'd like to learn more about the eval functions. I was hoping to be able to use them to dynamically build LB commands on the fly, but when I tried it I got a fatal error.
Thanks (again!) for any advice or pointers.

The LB helpfile itself includes an index of commands. Accessible from the Help menu.
And as far as I'm aware, EVAL()/EVAL$() can do computation, but not general programming with all LB commands available.

I've been using the pdf that came with LB and ASSUMED that's what I would get from the Help menu. I now see that the Help menu has more in it. You know what happens when you assume...
It's a shame about EVAL. Building commands on the fly can be fun. Maybe in a future version...
Thanks again for all your help!

Invaluable IMHO
Create a tkn and add it to your External Programs under Setup in the LB menu. Once added, it appears under RUN in LB menu
Thanks to Stephan, and to Metro for re-posting.
