|
|
I was defining STOP as Public Const STOP as byte = 0 when I noticed that when I typed STOP it turned blue I then found STOP in the list of reserved words. What does it do. Is it like the "old" basic keyword that halts execution or has it been reserved for "Future Use"? 
Any enlightenment will be appreciated.

Stop is a keyword for historical reasons but it has no function in ZBasic. End is only used as part of End If, End Select, etc.
The list of words that the IDE highlights as keywords is separate from the list that the compiler considers reserved words. Although they generally will be the same, they need not be.
You can change the list of keywords that are highlighted in the IDE by modifying the keywordclass.bas entry. Although the original list is in the bas.properties file, it is best to effect changes by adding an entry to your User Options file. The entry below has been edited down to include only the keywords that have a role in ZBasic.
