Too bad the IDE can't just write your program for you.

Geez Jon, you really don't attempt to read anything, do you? For crying 
out loud, all you have to do is spend a couple of hours reading the 
docs, checking out Richard's Scripting Style guide
<http://www.fourthworld.com/embassy/articles/scriptstyle.html>
and perusing this list, and you would save yourself (and many of us, by 
the way) time from typing and reading your constant complaining (again, 
and again) on this list.

I've said it before, and I'll repeat it. You should buy the books and 
reference manuals, spend a couple of nights reading through them, scan 
the lists for interesting items. For instance, I searched the Use-Rev 
list for "line break" and the first hit was from Ken Ray:

http://lists.runrev.com/pipermail/use-revolution/2002-October/008701.html

"You can also use a "\" as in:

put "this is a very long line of text" \
   into myVar"

I mean, that took me all of 2 seconds. Instead, you'd rather type a long 
email complaining to the list you couldn't find the answer. Geez.
