lets start from beginning then. (had to install 1.85 on my laptop)
searching it, can't find...
oh, it just placed an icon somewhere on my desktop.
damn, if someone could know how messed up place that is, he would never do that silly insert.




I did that because I have the free version of the Visual Studio installer which unfortunatly doesn't have a easy way of adding under the Programs group. It want's a hard name typed in and not a variable so anyone thats not using a English version of windows would have the icon messed up so I just threw it on the desktop. I'll be getting VB.net, hopefuly the installer with that will be better.

doing some code and clicking on run.
it asks me to save that thing.
from the past I know, kixtarter does "crash" there if you don't save.
it just assumes you always click yes.
so I do.
click yes and it gives my script SCR ending!




Default extension is .scr when theres no extension specified. Actually it "should" put the last saved extension in. Or if you hit "New Script" and type in the name as "Lonkero.kix" it would have defaulted to this. Since you only put the name it added the .scr. On mine I just hit new script, skipped the wizard and hit save. It defaulted to Untitled.txt because the last file I opened and saved had a .txt extension.

Quote:

k, I close the debugger after it crashes not finding kix.
go to settings and see the text: "associate kixtarter with these extensions"
only kix is selected.
doh, I go to postprep folder and look around, there are about 50 different scripts with .kix as their extension.
all of them associated with notepad!




That I don't know....unclick, save, reclick, save?

Quote:

well, one thing that's not changed either.
setting it to use mixedcase still uses UPPERCASE!
as an example:
ASC("a")

dunno about you but that's uppercase to me.





Ahhh....O.k. Mixed case in my progam is based on programming standards, so usually small abbriviations will stay capitalized. For example ASC will stay ASC while COLOR will be converted to Color. At least it should be. If its not then theres a bug. But things like ASC, CLS, DEl, etc will stay all caps while SAVEKEY, GETDISKSPACE, etc will get converted.

Quote:

anyway, continuing.
making it to use temporary files.
(no need for me to save all those screensaver files)
k, looking for a place to enter where kix sits...
oh, under that bebug stuff.

k, then running:

you see the script.
you see your damn debugger window.
you see my script is not exited.
you see your window says it is.
you see there is nothing in my script but simple "get $"
you see why I ask, WTF!




Well, I tried it. In fact I copied your script and when I run it both in KiXtart 3.45, 4.22, and 4.50. All three wait for my entry on my machine (XP Pro Version 2002 SP1 - US English). ( http://www.gardinertrane.com/kixtarter/lonkero.jpg ). Can someone else try this out and see what they get? In your example with nothing between the run and exit lines its almost like its running a blank script, like its not even debugging anything. Also if you would try saving the file, reopening it and debugging. See if that give the same results. I would really like to figure this one out,

Allan.
