#define showdebug

Does this work? I thought I had tried it (with no success.) And Parallax's web site still says:

A newer version is expected to be released in the next few weeks which will include the following additional features:

Color syntax highlighting which makes editing and debugging PBASIC programs much easier
Integrated online help file with new PBASIC command examples
Conditional compilation directives

Actually, yes. I know this for two reasons:

a) it works in my code...
b) the alpha version FIRST released for useage by FIRST teams mentioned the compilation directives in the release notes for that version.. and apparently they have it in the beta version as well except they didn't document it..

Some things to remember... all the statements have to have a # before them otherwise they are treated as regular code. So:

#if varible then

... code here

#endif

That code doesn't work at all... you need to do a

#if varible #then

... code here

#endif

It seems to work when I use it.. but maybe its just me
