i would simply use rtm, but then i would receive back something like "wtf is rtm?", while rtfm is a common phrase. so, american and therefore lazy, i wanted to use as few keystrokes as possible while staying legible so i went with the acronym, and the well known one.

and could you perhaps tell me about this book? most books i've read are even dumber than the manual... but you were around when qb was in its prime so maybe real programmers wrote them then.
i]"I know what you're thinking. Did he fire six shots or only five? Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum ... you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya punk?"[/i] - Dirty Harry

warrented. I was just trying to explain why he might have gotten the idea that you were a tad annoyed (and I didn't necessarily say that you shouldn't have been). Smile

I didn't mean an actual manual, I meant the 'help guide' that gives you all the commands and how to use them and nonsense like that. Otherwise, if you are looking for a book, the book that I've found that is best (well, for me, probably not you guys cause your'e so experienced and stuff......but the book that speaks to newbies best is) is Qbasic By Example (published by QUE) I think that it has helped we a little, but you's guys here have helped me moreso......
