Keywords
The Keyword Reference GUide lists all SuperBASIC keywords in alphabetical order. A
brief explanation of the keywords function
is given followed by loose definition of the
syntax and examples of usage. An explanation of the syntax definition
is given in the
Concept Reference Guide under the entry syntax.
Each keyword entry indicates
to which, if any, group of operations it relates, I.e. DRAW
is a graphics operation and further information can be obtained from the graphics section
of the Concept Reference Guide.
Sometimes
it is necessary to deal with more than one keyword at a time, i.e. IF, ELSE,
THEN, END,
IF, these are all listed under IF.
An index is provided which attempts to cover all possible ways you might describe a
SuperBASIC keyword. For example the clear screen command, CLS,
is also listed under
clear screen and screen clear.
