I have noticed that docs use different terms then what was installed.

docs say basic, scriba is invoked
extension for programs is .bas, .sb is used.

This is a little ? for new users.

Before the wiki files are made maybe the docs should be updated.

Agreed !

I'm working on getting the 2.1 release together and that's my next job. (the docs on the wiki)

Any free time anyone has to donate to the ScriptBasic open source project would be greatly appreciated.

Use of extensions is a mere decision of the end user. You can name your BASIC programs with just any extension. The interpreter is not keen on any specific extension. It is only the setup.exe that assciates the extension '.sb' with the interpreter. You can just start



scriba myprogram.anything



and the interpreter will try to compile your code as it was (is) BASIC. Even though it is true: the documentation and the setup.exe are not matching in this topic.
