Hi friends
I was playing with code to translate into a versatile version the code of scrolling text into SCREEN 0 and...
I fall into this feature/bug of the internal help of QB64pe IDE...
in old QB4.5 and Qbasic if you put the text cursor under the name of a SUB or a FUNCTION, by pressing F1 (help key) you get a help window in which you see the name of the SUB/FUNCTION and the list of its parameters as in the line of declaration of the SUB/FUNCTION.
Well until this point all is the same in old QB4.5 and in QB64pe.
But an insane coder ( somebody that I don't know
) has used this feature to have a clear list (towards the order and the type of data) of parameters to write in his code without going up and down in the code (for example using the navigation keys and setting bookmarks) .
Ok what is the matter?
please look at this screenshot and you can realize in a second:

What do you think about this accidental discovery?
