We indeed have a page called "Type" and one "TYPE", but that's the only page which has two different spellings. I'll look to remove the "Type" page soon as it seems to be mostly redundant with the "Variable Types" page, I just have to make sure to let no death links to "Type" behind.
Thanks for looking into this. Every now and then I'll get personal emails from users of the tutorial that state they can't find the information they need in the Wiki. For some reason they always seem to miss the keyword reference links on the Wiki home page. Perhaps making them stand out a little more will help?

Will look into that, but as you use the "Export" feature of the IDE and so all your code examples already have keyword links to the respective wiki page, you could also place a prominent note about that on your Lessons TOC page. Guess most people don't realize these links if they not randomly move the mouse over it and the link title pops up.
That's a good point, I'll do that.
There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.
