Options menu differenes

Post by gerard@dugdill.com »

Hello, there are differences in the options menu I have on the version I downloaded (1.41b) and the menu described in the online work manual. eg there is no customise command.

Have I got the wrong version or another issue?

Thanks,
Richard Russell

You're looking at the wrong version of the manual. The manual you are looking at is for BBC BASIC for Windows here; the manual for BBC BASIC for SDL 2.0, which evidently is what you are using, is here.

If you access the manual from the respective Help menu, it should take you to the correct place.

I should perhaps add that if you navigate through the online (web) version of the manual using the embedded links, you can find yourself taken to the 'other' manual (from BB4W to BBCSDL or from BBCSDL to BB4W) because so much of it is shared between them. That can cause confusion if you don't realise it has happened.
