hi
purebasic grows fast (really fast!) in every new version purebasic team added so many new features and actually their speed to adding new features is so higher than my speed to update myself! (i don't know about other users)
but i think you must note that popularity of a language isn't just depend on it's power and features (look at visual basic).
visual basic is the most popular programming language not because of it's power but because of ease of use and fully documented.
may be looking at microsoft visual basic refrence manual will show what i mean.
i wish you stop adding new features just for a while and spend your time on writing a full feature complete refrence manual.
look at this lines from pure basic help:
- Any number of commands can be added to the same line by using the : option.
Example :
If OpenScreen(0,320,200,8,0) : PrintN("Ok") : Else : PrintN("Failed") : EndIf
these are from version 3.80 help file!

Documentation and Refrence manual
I think Fred, and the rest of the PureBasic team, has been working more on the documentation part lately.. I'm not sure though, but I got the impression that this was the case...
On another note, if you find some documentation "errors" or such, I'm sure they would appreciate you posting this in a designated thread on the forum..
(but to be sure, ask Fred first... Maybe he'll even start a new forum subject..)

i didn't post that here for announcing an error.
i'm sure that i'm not the first one attentioned that, but that isn't any problem and everyone can find the right command in help file too.
but i just want to show that why i wish a better documentation:)
by the way this forum subject is wishlists!
i'm not a experienced user of pb and actually i'm a newbie
if i had experience i didn't wait for another to do this.
sorry for my post
