    Ok, I found the option (off, min, full) to activate the debugger.

    Also, the debugger isn't available yet? When I tried to start the debbuger, it says that I should mark a debug option that I cannot find anywhere.
    And I cannot find help on valid values for #pragma.

    What you see in the script is what is executed. The installation executes each script command in sequence, starting from the beginning of the installation script (see important script concepts in the HTML help).

    The "sections" are only visual indicators - they "do" nothing. You can, say, add Install Files commands to the [ Create Folders ] section. It's up to you.

    Re: Help for newbe

    Ok, meanwhile here is a question:
    In the Script Editor, I can see there are "sections" (for example, [ User Interface ]).
    I can't find in the help about them (which doesn't mean that there isn't anything, as we already saw...).
    In what order are these sections executed (if they are), and what they mean?
    For example, looking in one example, I see this section
    [ User Interface ]
    where I supposed to put something,
    But when I created a new project, there is no such section. Instead, I have
    [ Interview User Interface ]
    but it doesn't seem to work the same.

    Can you orientate me?
    TIA,

    The PDF manual (based on the HTML) will be available later next week.

    Darn!
    I couldn't find it until you mentioned it!
    I'm getting old...

    5.) What problems do you have with the Script Editor?

    BTW, the script commands are listed in the right pane of the editor, and you add them to your script by drag-and-drop (or select the script line and double-click the script item). When you drop a new command on your script, a dialog box opens automatically to prompt you for any variable information the command requires.
    Well, I'm starting to figured out the basics like this one, but I really couldn't found nothing like this in the help. I'll ask you again if I have some especifical question.
    Thank you,

    Re: Help for newbe

    Three questions remains...
    3) It seems that the only way to do what I want (i.e. detect Clarion version) is touching the script, is that right?
    4) In the "help" menu, if I select "Reference manual", nothing happens. Is that right?
    5) There is plenty of help on what the scripts are and how to use them, but didn't found any on how to use the script editor. Is there any, in that case where?

    TIA
