For shure RBScript is a very important part of RealBasic, I have a project that makes use of RBScript and need beter and more support of it, at this point the project is stoped due to:

Bad or lack of manuals for RealBasic A PDF like the one you propose is a good idea Multiple Contexts is a must have at this point have acces to a database at the same time to TCP/IP is a headache, better that it RBScript by default should have access to everything.

Here is an open letter to RS.

I would like some serious attention paid to RBScript in the next
release. There are certain bugs that need to be fixed ASAP and
there are certain enhancements that you should consider.

First, exception handling is broken and must be fixed ASAP.
Example feedback report "sbuwicsb".

RBScript is a very important feature for us and I would like to
see it be made a first class citizen in the RB universe. Here are
a few suggestions to make is a first rate feature.

- Create a separate PDF that describes RBScript in all its gory
details that we can distribute with our programs so that our
customers can have a base reference to read. This should be
written with our end customer in mind and not the primary
developer of the program. So it should do a lot of hand holding so
to speak (i.e., be a mini-user guide for RB in some respects). If
you don't have the personnel bandwidth, then you should contract
this work out to one of the old timers on the NUG to write the
bulk of such a document for a fee. This document would be a
significant addition to the RB documentation set.

The PDF can be release independent of the next release, so I would
like this item done ASAP.

- I would like to see an RBScript editor control implemented. That
way we the developer can implement an editor for our end users as
appropriate. This would be like the EditField in that it would be
based on your own internal editor. Here are the some basic
requirements for creating such a control.

  - color code the syntax like the RB IDE
  - automatic indentation of the code like the RB IDE
  - code completion based on the context object methods like the RB IDE

We obviously don't need break point support or anything like that,
just basic editing for our end customers so the end customer can
have the same experience we do with the IDE every day.

- Implement multiple context object. See Feedback report
"rmfdkyqu". With the ability to assign multiple context objects,
we can manage our software support for RBScript in ways that will
make RBScript a joy to implement.

With these changes I am suggesting we will have a superior
experience with RBScript and so will our end customers.

RBscript is a really significant feature and has a potential for
great innovations.
