The biggest problem I am having is figuring out what to search for. The language is so unique. So take my question about emptying a field. Be easy in an OOP language: empty(Text_field.text) - or something to that effect. So I would search on "empty" and get tons of info on the function and various examples.. AND user comments.
Now in Revolution it's also easy but completely different then any of language. So I search the Dictionary on "empty", got nothing; then "Text Entry Field", got nothing; then asked here. I'm not harping on Revolution. I like it. It's just different from anything else on the market. So a FAQ that shows JAVA or C syntax alongside Revolution would be a god-send. Just some common functions and procedures. The manual is good, but has no reference to other languages. It would help get my head out of OOP into Revolution.
