Ok, let me comment on all of this :-)
Two general things:
- I think it's better to post the FAQ *copied* into
mails, not *included*
- Right now the line-length is unlimited and you're
dependent of any wrapping funtionality of your viewer.
In Opera I'd have to scroll the complete text vertically
for example. I'd suggest limiting it to the standart
line-length of 72(?) chars per line

There was some big discussion about a Version 2.0 of the
programming guide. More or less it stopped in total
skeleton form, but its index regarding programming was
way more complete then the current one in the FAQ.
Try searching the archive for "Stelladoc v2". It
happened mainly Sep/Oct 2001
To single FAQ points:
> 1.7 How do I submit to the FAQ?
Cool answer! Might work :-)

Is that true? Why do I need 8K BS then?

I know what you're tryng to tell here,
but I need only some 30 lines of code in Blitz-BASIC to
have Super Mario running around in a Quake level.
but People have done Javascript/DHTML Combat or Kaboom
in less than a day.
