MKDIR(p$) - Create directory path p$. Return 1 or 0 for failure or success respectively.
RMDIR(p$) - Delete directory path p$. Return 1 or 0 for failure or success respectively.
I noticed that Mike modified the Building Block on the wiki for rmdir and mkdir, and this is why he made the change. The lines above are from the RB help document. The flags for success and failure are switched.
Should be:
MKDIR(p$) - Create directory path p$. Return 0 or 1 for failure or success respectively.
RMDIR(p$) - Delete directory path p$. Return 0 or 1 for failure or success respectively.
RMDIR(p$) - Delete directory path p$. Return 1 or 0 for failure or success respectively.

No "respectively" please. Does not translate well, and in fact does not scan well. How about:
MKDIR(p$) - Create directory path p$. Return 0 for failure, or 1 for success.
RMDIR(p$) - Delete directory path p$. Return 0 for failure, or 1 for success.

I'm 'respectively' submitting this suggestion:
In the new documentation (Beta2+), the Button was added. Instances of 'link' should be changed to 'button.'
In particular, SetKey() and Debug$().
The same with ImageButton
IMAGEBUTTON methods
#handle CSSCLASS() - Set the CSS class tag
#handle SETKEY(stringExpr$) - Set the link's event key to stringExpr$
#handle SETID(expr$) - Set the HTML id property to be the value of expr$
#handle TOOLTIP(expr$) - Set a tooltip for the imagebutton using the value of expr$
#handle ISNULL() - Returns zero (or false)
#handle DEBUG$() - Returns the string "Link"
(削除) Respectively (削除ここまで) Respectfully submitted, Janet

REDIM is missing from the command reference entirely.
The DIM explanation should point out the differences in scope.
May be make them local entirely and add the ability to declare them GLOBAL.

Hi, The documentation for the radiogroup statement seems to be incorrect.
It starts with:
CHECKBOX statement #handle, ...
The Example seems to be correct although I have not tested it.

RowIndex should be listed in the SQLite topic. It is mentioned in the TABLE topic, but missing from the detailed SQLite topic.

RB help for time$ description " it reads
"print time$("seconds") 'seconds since midnight as number 32314"
But actual value is seconds in Julian date.
The Result is
date$("days")=39874
time$("seconds") = 3445085107
time$("seconds") / (3600*24) = 39873.6715
time$("ms") = 3445085372141

- The help file has no description of modulo (mod) operator.
- The help available at www.runbasic.com/rbhelp.html is out of the date (for older version of RB).
- On the main page of RunBASIC, in the lower left corner is a wrong link to the forum. There is outdated runbasic.proboards82.com but should be runbasic.proboards.com
- In the DATA help page www.runbasic.com/docs/data_statement.html the first link to READ command (at the top of that page) is wrong. It leads to the home page but not to the READ help page.
