Someone had gone through the work to compile the help files into a printable manual. This was a year or so ago. Has any work continued on this? Is there an easy way to print the current help files in manual form?

pthien, I'd was the humble editor of this printable manual, and if Fred send me a full copy of PB who knows...may be I actuallize the manual to new gadgets, commands, etc. I'm thinking to write a book (printable one
) to explore advanced topics about PB including the creation of personal libraries, custom controls, etc.

How the heck did you do that? That is amazing! Do you have some program for printing help files or something? It seems very well organized.
I need to know the technique you used for this!
And thank you!

An even sloppier and free'er method is to download OpenOffice @

Then load it into Word, I mean Text, and select File, Save As, .pdf

If it is useful then I can do that every time - it is little or no effort on my part.
Fred: Do you want someone to make up a nice cover and/or add a foreword?

I think it is useful. It can't hurt in attracting new users.
