I can't find my QL user guide. I remember SuperBasic well, but I need some help. Is it available anywhere on the internet?

There's a much improved version online too. This is a conversion of Rich Mellor's SBASIC/SuperBASIC Reference Manual as originally available as a huge printed manual. It covers a number of toolkits as well as the inbuilt SuperBASIC commands. It's downloadable too.

Cheers,

The following is, in my opinion, a must-have: QL SuperBASIC - The Definitive Handbook.
Here is the Kindle edition of Jan Jones's classic, in-depth description of the Sinclair QL SuperBASIC language.

No, it is not, I looked everywhere.
Only "Mathematics On The Commodore 64" is online

I looked on a couple of somewhat dodgy sites as well (I'm an author...), no sign of it anywhere, so I'd say it's unlikely to be online.

There's not much on archive.org either -- that one is legit though.


Cheers,
Norm.
