Making Max more beginner-friendly

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Beginners Area/Making Max more beginner-friendly

I think some of the changes between BlitzMax and the older versions of blitz should be highlighted more...

For example, something extremely basic that I couldn't find anywhere in the documentation:

How do you enter multiple commands on a single line?
It used to be seperated by the : but that is no longer the case.

Through trial-and-error I found that it has been replaced by the ; in BlitzMax.

I checked all the obvious places in the documention: Overview, Basic Compatibility, Program Flow, Management.... Zilch.

None of the samples I saw included more than one command on a single line either. (Great for simplicity's sake of course, but a pain in the neck when you are actually trying to find out something as dead-simple as what the : actually has been replaced with in Max...)
