JRS:
If a new user of Oxygen Basic were to look at and compile the examples provide in the distribution, there should be no reason one couldn't be productive with the BASIC. Waiting for professional written docs to materialize anytime soon isn't  being realistic.

Hi
May i continue with my attempt on o2 help in chm form.
Of course it is not on proffesional level but can be useful ?

AlyssonR:
Any reference material is always welcome - especially when we have senior moments and forget which dialect we're using.  :o :P

Charles Pegge:
I think good search tools are the key, rather than static documentation. Assuming we will end up with thousands of examples, (currently 1200+), programmers should be able to locate any piece of code that approximates their needs. I find I'm writing far less original code now. It's mostly copy, paste, and adapt.

Oxygen_help.chm is currently more like a dictionary than a full manual. It's contents are sourced from inf\o2keyw.dat, a database of o2 keywords with various links to included examples.

JRS:
My vote is we expand on Charles's Github repository breaking apart the zips to source controlled pushes and use the Github markup tools for documentation.

I'm winding down my BASIC forum activity and plan to have Script BASIC on BitBucket or Gitlab and part of a major Linux distribution by 2020.
