Just started playing around with gcbasic, with a view to using it with a serial bootloader to get a 'stamp like' solution...
I noticed a couple of typo's in the online manual, and thought that I might also be able to contribute some larger/expanded examples for some of the commands as I'm learning it myself. I'll be writing notes into my own wiki at home as I go, so was wondering how I can contribute any changes to the online manual?
From what I've seen so far, gcbasic is a great bit of work, and I love the structure of it, being able to use ASM, and edit the libraries etc.
Cheers, Chris H.

I can add you to the GCBASIC project, and then you can alter the help files on the web page. If you'd rather not alter the GCBASIC site, you can send me the changed files and I'll put them up. Or, just let me know the articles with errors and I'll fix them. I'm happy to go with whichever approach suits you best.
If you've got a lot of spare time, there's also the GCBASIC wiki. There's not really much there right now, but any help with that would be excellent.
Probably edit the help and move it into the wiki might be the best idea?
Is there an easy way to go from the wiki to an offline help file? The chm file is a fairly handy thing to have, and if it can't be created from the wiki easily it'd be best to keep that as the source I would think.
I might have a look at the wiki here, I've not used the SF wiki before...

Till I read the posting at http://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=4201055, I was under the impression that the PIC is running at the speed specified at the # define for chip, freq. I think this info to set the freq of the chip is missing in the doc

Editing the help is probably the best way to go. HelpMaker generates the offline and online help, so any changes made to the .sh5 file are easy to apply to everything else.
I've only had a brief look at the wiki and added a few initial pages, but haven't yet seen any way to upload a whole lot of articles at once. Looks like there will be quite a bit of copying and pasting needed to get stuff up there. Once everything is up on the wiki it shouldn't be too hard to copy changes back from the wiki and into HelpMaker.

No need to, as that has been fixed for a long while. Look at the code at the top system.h file (which is in the include/lowlevel folder) and you will see that OSCCON is being set off the chip mhz. Not so sure about the 31khz setting on the nanowatt devices tho.

Sure, any help is great!

The source file for the help is at http://gcbasic.sourceforge.net/translation and can be edited using HelpMaker, which is at http://www.vizacc.com/ .

OK, I'll have a look at HelpMaker during the week some time...
