Yeesh, dude, read what you wrote before sending!
My second Q (below) should have said that I'm thinking about the
$1500/year version of Alpha Anywhere (client-side only) and pairing it
with Foxweb on the server end. If you're not familiar with Foxweb, you
submit text indicating functions and parameters via HTML put and get
back HTML strings of data. I know Alpha Anywhere's server can do a lot
more than that, but I'm not sure I need all the bells and whistles.

I know I've seen posts on here from at least one user of Alpha XBasic
software. I'm now on day 15 of my 30 day trial and have a few generic
questions...
Stuff like:
Is Alpha Anywhere mostly about Javascript/HTML5 and brings along the
XBasic and Alpha5 infrastructure as a freebie? Or is the Alpha5 XBasic
more integral and important than it seems to be. (It seems most tasks
are accomplished with Javascript.)
Is the Client/Server version ($2500 year) worth the extra $1k over the
basic package, or can the server functions be accomplished in other
ways? I have a copy of and have used FoxWeb, which has always seemed
clunky, but it works. Could that be used in place of the Alpha
Anywhere Client/Server or is that a false savings?
Is the Alpha Anywhere documentation as bad as I think it is? Or am I
just acting my age ("You kids! Get off my lawn!")
And a few other tidbits.
I'd be happy to take this off-list if it produces too much noise for
everyone, but then maybe some others would find the info useful...I
dunno.
Thanks for any responses.
