Yeah same here, it's the docs that aren't great for a newbie. It takes a lot of experimentation and pouring over other blitz language examples to get an idea what something does and how to use it.

The doc's currently have a technical description of what a command does, and doesn't give examples that explain what the command is for, except in what seems to a newbie an abstract fashion.

Like looking at a cubist painting for the very first time and and wondering what kind of gras the guy that made it was smoking. But when you know what it's all about its pretty simple really. Thats how I find Bmax at the moment, and its all down to the docs.
