Hi Charles,
I can't find information on the following words:
PURE, OBJECTS, OOP, INHERITS.
Could you give them to me to put them in the HELP file.

Cheers

Hi Nicola,

I'll update my records in inf/o2keyw.txt and I need to rewrite classes.o2bas.

[group topics, non-keyword:
OBJECTS  same as classes
OOP      sames as classes

secondary keywords:
INHERITS no longer used
PURE     same as virtual (used in C++)
'

Hi,
Due to the fact that it is no longer possible for me to edit the post, I had to change the site where to post the chm help file. You can find it at the bottom of my posts.

Cheers

@Charles.
The SKIP command is not yet implemented. In the file "o2keyw.txt" it is present, but it seems that it has not been implemented. The demo program also does not exist.
News about it?

Cheers
