Heya,

Pressing F1 in "Redim" or searching for it in the help window doesn't find any documentation regarding it.

Pressing F1 on Redim shows the Dim page of the help here (PB 6.03 beta 5 (x64) on Windows).
And Redim is explained on that page.

While typing, the IDE will show the needed parameters for any PureBasic 
function whose parameters you are currently typing. This makes it easy 
to see any more parameters you still have to add to this function. This 
also works for procedures, prototypes, interfaces or imported functions 
in your code as long as they are declared in the same source code or 
project.

'ReDim' is a keyword command not a library command. You also wouldn't see syntax help for 'If' either.

Code: Select all

<li><a href="#ReDim"><u><font size="3">ReDim</font></u></a></li>
...
<a name="ReDim"></a>

But I don't know if this will be a problem when compiling the help file to other platforms.

Here's an example
Similarly, the structures

You also wouldn't see syntax help for 'If' either.

My statement was in reference only to syntax help appearing in the status bar not in the help file.
