Re: URL to Internet
URL$="http://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/data/observations/metar/stations/KPHL.TXT" That should be ftp:// rather than http:// surely? If it's also available via the HTTP protocol you should be able to use httpget$() which is a built-in function in Liberty BASIC 4.5 and is available in LBB via the ...

Re: URL to Internet
(edited)
URLDownloadToFile seems to work fine for the file you specified. I've only tested it in BBC BASIC but it should certainly work in LB/LBB as well:

Re: URL to Internet
As I recall, it sent a message to one of your websites and printed the reply, HTML code, to the mainwin. The nearest thing I can find to that description is this by Brent Thorn: ' Minimal TCP/HTTP client ' By Brent D. Thorn, 10/2010 ' A minimalistic TCP client which just happens to send the right s...

Re: URL to Internet
At this point I don't know which weather service I would use, or what the message specs might be. In which case code isn't going to be any use to you! Whether it's TCP or UDP is the first and most fundamental thing you will need to ascertain, after that you will need to understand the message proto...

Re: Text Entry Cursor stops blinking
I eventually found the solution here . It turns out that it's controlled by a registry setting: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\CaretTimeout . By default this is set to 5000 (0x1388), which means the caret stops blinking after 5 seconds. If you want it to continue blinking indefinitely you c...

Re: Left Border of Editor Window
For me this does not occur with any editor other than the LBB IDE. It's evidently a peculiar feature of the Rich Edit control. It is mentioned at MSDN here : " the selection bar is an unmarked area to the left of each paragraph that when clicked, selects the line " (so it's not the bevel)...

Re: Left Border of Editor Window
The standard Text Editor and Text Box controls don't have a 'bevel' by default. Isn't the presence of a 'bevel' principally a function of the window style, not what kind of control the window contains: nomainwin WindowHeight = 470 statictext #w.st1, "No Stylebits", 50, 20, 200, 32 stylebi...
