Typical Programming Examples
The following program examples will show how the IDeal command language can
be used to perform simple tasks.There are more extensive and elaborate example
programs in the DEMOS.idc file that came with your Application Developer disk
set.
To aid your program documentation,comments can be placed in brackets {com-
ment}.These comments are stripped out of the program as it is downloaded to
help conserve memory in the control. Files should be saved BEFORE downloading
for documentation purposes.
