Hello, I am just starting to use the QB64 IDE. I notice that the File menu is missing "Load File", a choice which appeared in QB4.5. My QB4.5 program has several .BAS files as well as a file named SUBS.BAS, which contains subroutines and functions used by the .BAS files. In QB4.5 I would use "Load File" to load a .BAS module, then used "Load File" again to load SUBS.BAS. When I save the program a .MAK file is created.
Is there an alternative way to load a .BAS module and also load other modules with subroutines used by all modules?
Also, I hope someone can direct me to documentation on the QB64 IDE and its menus.
Thank you very much.

Do you mean Open File from Files menu? This does a dialog for loading a file into the Editor.
.MAK file? Are you talking about old old QB4.5 for DOS?
Help docs are available right from QB64 Help Menu top right corner > Help Should be able to get on-line access to Wiki too, but I can't find it at this forum, you'd think it'd be under links???

The only bug free code is code that is no longer used.

Thank you very much. You are absolutely correct and I feel your pain. For the time being the only way to accomplish something similar is to use the $INCLUDE meta command placing any additional .BAS files as $INCLUDE's toward the end of your main module.

I'm not so sure there's any pain to feel. It's a pretty straightforward way to include files and is similar to C. Plenty of code samples with $INCLUDE.
