TurboCAD v4.1 READ ME - ENABLE BASIC 
---------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------
1. INTRODUCTION 
---------------------------------------------

Thank you for purchasing TurboCAD v4.1 or 
TurboCAD v4.1 Professional.  We at IMSI are 
sure that you will find 
TurboCAD to be an invaluable resource for 
your day-to-day drawing needs.  
Please review this Enable Basic README 
document which contains late breaking 
information, information not included in the
printed documentation, or corrections to the 
current documentation. 

---------------------------------------------
2. FEATURES FIXED IN THE MAINTENANCE RELEASE
---------------------------------------------

TCWLayerCreate now accepts a color.

TCWLayerPropertySet now correctly sets colors 
in the range 0 - FFh (shades of red).  This 
would previously be interpreted as a short 
integer, report Argument(s) are invalid and 
set the color to black.

TCWAppPropertySet, TCWDrawingPropertySet, and 
TCWGraphicPropertySet
These features now correctly accept doubles 
instead of requiring their conversion to long 
integers.  Previously, setting PenWidth, 
for example, would round 0.3 to 0 and 0.5 to 
1.

Page 141, keywords ByRef and ByVal

Add the following after the list of reserved 
words:

ByRef and ByVal

ByRef gives other subroutines and functions 
the permission to make changes to variables 
that are passed as parameters.  The keyword 
ByVal denies this permission and the 
parameters cannot be reassigned outside their 
local procedure.  ByRef is the Enable default 
and does not need to be use explicitly.  
Because ByRef is the default, all variables 
passed to other functions or subroutines can 
be changed.  There is only one exception to 
this. The exception is to use the ByVal 
keyword to protect the variable, or use 
parentheses that indicate the variable is 
ByVal.  For example:

SubOne var1, var2, (var3)

The parameter var3 in this case is passed by 
value and cannot be changed by the subroutine 
SubOne.

Function R (X As String, ByVal n As Integer)

The function R is receiving two parameters X 
and n.  Parameter n is passed by value and 
cannot be changed from within the function R.

---------------------------------------------

Page 158, keywords Dim Statement

Add the following text: See also: Public 
Statement

---------------------------------------------

Page 203, keyword Rem Statement

Above the Rem Statement, add the following:

Public Statement

Public variablename[(subscripts)] [ As Type] 
[, name [As Type]]

Allocates storage for and declares the 
datatype of public variables and arrays.  
These are available to all Functions and Sub 
procedures throughout the script file.

Page 210, keyword SendKeys Function

Below the Example add the following text: 
Precede the character with combinations of 
+ for Shift, ^ for Ctrl, and % for Alt.
