<h1>Looking Up Answers</h1>
|
|
<p>The activities you just finished introduced two PBASIC commands: <span class="keyword_in_text">DEBUG</span> and <span class="keyword_in_text">END</span>.  You can find out more about these commands and how they are used by looking them up. You can look up commands here in the <span class="ContactInfoProjectName">BASIC Stamp Help</span> or in the BASIC Stamp Manual.  </p>

<h2>Exploring the Help Resources</h2>
|
|
<p class="PlainText"> There are many ways to find resources in the Help. If you want to know the syntax and usage details of a particular PBASIC command, you can click on "PBASIC Language Reference" in the Table of Contents to see the full list. </p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<img src="../Resources/Images/AlphaRef.png" />
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p class="PlainText">Next to each command is a set of icons representing which BASIC Stamp models support that command. All commands available to the BASIC Stamp 2 have this icon: <img src="../graphics/bs2only_inline.gif" />. The syntax showing how to use the command is given to the right of the icons. </p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<img src="../Resources/Images/DEBUGlink.png" />
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p class="PlainText">Clicking on a command will take you to a page full of information, and a link to example programs. Here is the <span class="keyword_in_text">DEBUG</span> command's page:</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<img src="../Resources/Images/DebugPage.png" />
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p class="PlainText">You can also learn more about a command using the Search menu. If you enter a term in the field and hit the Search button, you will see a list of topics where the search term appears:</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|

|
|
<img src="../Resources/Images/RedArrow.png" /> <img src="../Resources/Images/SearchDebug.png" /></p>
|
|
<p class="PlainText">Clicking an item in the list will take you that page, and each instance of the search term on that page will be highlighted: </p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<img src="../Resources/Images/DebugExSearch.png" />
|
|

<h2>Additional Resources</h2>
|
|
<p class="PlainText">Some helpful books are included with the BASIC Stamp Editor software, as PDF files. You can find the Resources page link under Welcome in the Table of Contents. The Resources page contains links that will open PDF files in your computer's PDF viewer, if you have one. </p>
