A couple of things I'd like to see:
* An option to lock the toolbars (so you cannot grab and move them by mistake)
* Option to put custom buttons on the toolbars, e.g. small helper utils
* A help file that is not ONTOP
* An alternative paste mode which pastes with any formatting removed

Hmmm, too bad. Good thing we can do a little coding ourselves.. 
| Code: | title VDS Paster ..by Dr. Dread
option DECIMALSEP,"."
%W = @winactive(I)
list create,1
list paste,1
wait .1
list create,2
repeat
%%line = @next(1)
list add,2,@strdel(@trim(@strins(%%line,1,¤)),1)
until @equal(@index(1),@count(1))
list copy,2
wait .1
window SEND,%W,@CTRL(V)
list close,1
list close,2
:CLOSE
stop |
If anyone else should find this handy:
Compile it with a descriptive name and put it in your VDS Tools directory. Then use this tool from the VDS tools menu
whenever you want to paste stuff with no formatting included (you have to copy some input text to the clipboard
first, of course).

You could probably also use DDE to do this, with VDS 5's DDE Server.

the help file is so good now being colour coded and everything...really makes it easier to use
BUT being always on top is sssooo annoying...any way around that?

Yes, put a shortcut to the help file on your desktop, quick launch or
other form of program launching. It's what I did when I noticed the
ontop setting of the help file.

Unfortunately it won't help ya much if you're inclined to using Ctrl-F1 to go specific pages in the help file. You
get another instance of the help file being ontop  .

Well, I haven't tried the following, but here's an idea. Change the name
of the help file, place a shortcut of it in the same directory and then
rename the shortcut to the original name of the help file. I'll give it a try
in a bit and see if that works.

I'd like to see this too... but here's a really quick workaround:
| Code: | DIALOG CREATE,New Dialog,-1,0,240,160
DIALOG ADD,EDIT,EDIT1,30,32,180,19,EDIT1
DIALOG ADD,BUTTON,BUTTON1,65,70,64,24,BUTTON1
DIALOG ADD,edit,TEXT1,-20,-20
DIALOG SHOW
hotkey add,1,CTRL+A
:button1button
:evloop
wait event
goto @event()
:hotkey
dialog focus,text1
dialog focus,edit1
goto evloop
:close
hotkey remove,1
exit |

Ohhhh, yes, I misunderstood. This is something I've been wanting in the
IDE myself for a long time now...

I ment the "Select All" hotkey in VDS itself... For program I know already how to do that. I used to do that with the menu element... 
But thanks for mentioning the hotkey function...
