Thorsten,

You can use jaPBe
No Need to use al the !!!!!!
We have seen this before...remember?

@berikco:
no prob... but i would like to use the "pure teams" latest IDE and so it would be nice to have somewhere in future some of the jaPBe features too

[Edit:]
The !!! signs shouldnt be any agressive way nor critic nor something like that... it was just a small wish... i think using ^^ is much better now

So how's the difference between how PB lists all constants/variables and how jaPBe views them?

The big difference is that JaPBe gives you auto-complete on all the variables you have used, where PB only does it for variables you have declared with DefType. While I know that some are going to say that good programming dictates that you should always do this, I for one find it to be a pain to have to go to the start of the program to add a variable to the DefType lines and then find where you were again to continue. I believe that this is going to be added (I think I read it somewhere) and I for one will be very grateful when it is, as one of the hardest bugs to trace can be where you have misspelt a variable name.

Not really; in Internet use it means "look above".

Partially wrong -- the editor can use AutoComplete with Global variables;
you don't need to use DefType alone to make it work.

So just use the CTRL+L shortcut to jump back to where you were.

It means look above omg I always thought it is another type of smiley meaning a little smile. Hmmm :roll:

^_^

> I always thought it is another type of smiley meaning a little smile

As Trond said, ^_^ is for smile (as seen in Wikipedia too). Sometimes the
underscore is left out though, which could account for your understanding of
it. It could be a cultural thing too: you're in Germany, I'm in Australia; and
in every English site/IRC/Usenet post that I've seen, ^^ has been used to
indicate to the reader to "look up" or "see above".

I use /\ (backslash-slash) to indicate look up and V (V) to look down.

I wish I had known about the CTRL+L shortcut, I've been writing line numbers on scraps of paper and using CTRL+G to get back
One day I might learn enough to feel that I know what I am doing, at the moment it is trial and error a lot of the time, but with help from the forums I get there.
