PBASIC has some quirks, but its far better to learn to use them to your advantage than to attempt a work-around.

The graphic thing with function blocks is a great idea, but its more useful for concept development than for code generation. My limited experience with code generation software is that the resulting code was bulky and "traditional". Works though.

Joe alluded to the possibility of a buggy compiler. Bugs happen to the best of programmers. Whatever software gets distributed has to be thoroughly validated by an independant. Not just tested by a few users.

The folks at parallax are extremely clever. When you use all the features of the Stamps, you realize why the language is the way it is. Much of what the Stamp does well is forbidden to us.

You can cram a lot of function in a stamp by learning the "Zen" of PBASIC.
It would be nice to have a real IF-THEN-ELSEIF-ELSE structure though.
