Renaming of a few Functions

Soon there will be macro-support in PB, so you can Replace the Wend with whatever you'd like. At least I think the pre-compiler could do such things.

Wend on the other hand is Standard BASIC, and though someone will come for and say that PB doesn't follow the BASIC Standard (if there's one) at all, here at least it does, so we should keep that one.

The naming of Wend/EndWhile/WEnd isn't a real problem as they are only a matter of taste... If it's not consistant, then it's annoying... The true problems (as I see it) lie in completely misleading function names...

WindowID() and EventWindowID() both imply that they return an ID(hWnd) when this isn't the case...
EventWindowID() and EventGadgetID()
should be changed to:
EventWindow() and EventGadget()
since EVERY other xxxID() command returns a handle...
-just mai 2 cents

hehe, actually, it is something around 1100 or something, if you count the
old forums as well

And including all my bug reports, that fred deletes when they are fixed, i would guess something around 1150.

But hey, who cares about the rank??
