 Expressions in exp-default are evaluated in the function's current environment.

If payment is at the end of the period, int-type is 0 (zero); for payment at the end of each period, int-type is 1. If num-type is omitted, payment at the end of each period is assumed.

The last lines of the newLISP manual function definitions:



======



inc



Use the ++ function for incrementing numbers in integer mode.



----------



dec



Use the inc function to increment numbers.



======



Need to be changed to something like:



======



inc



Use the ++ function for incrementing numbers in integer mode.

Use the dec function to decrement numbers.



----------



dec



Use the -- function for decrementing numbers in integer mode.

Use the inc function to increment numbers.



======



(And if it's not too much trouble ;p)



You added ++ and -- to the +, -, *, /, % table entry

in:



Function Reference



   1. Syntax of symbol variables and numbers

   2. Data types and names in the reference

   3. Functions in groups

          * List processing, flow control, and integer arithmetic



Now the table entry is:



+, ++, -, --, *, /, %   integer arithetic



Besides looking messy ;p)



When deconstructing the single newLISP manual html file into individual html pages, the ++ and -- sections are not reachable by scrolling down from +, ++, -, --, *, /, %.



Could you change the table to:



+, -, *, /, %   integer arithmetic

++   incremet integer number

--   decrement integer number

Thanks for your help,  Johu. Release will be next week, so everything coming in until Monday or Tuesday, will be in the distribution packages. But I always post revisions with corrections for the on-line manual between releases too.

And,

Are the following the same ?

I think that fv's sentence is better.

nper



If payment is at the end of the period, int-type is 0; else it is 1. If int-type is omitted, 0 is assumed.



pmt



When paying at the end of each period, num-type is 0 (zero); otherwise,it is 1. If omitted, int-type is assumed to be 0 (zero) for payment at the end of a period.

Lutz,



can you post the link to the odt file when the documentation becomes stable.

I want to compile it to a CHM file as you suggested.



Here I have CHM files belonging to the previous version 10.1.x ,

namely

    codepatterns  and

    introduction-to-newlisp from Wikibooks

Would you prefer me to update them first?



Also I was working on a compiled help file containing the GTK+ Reference Manual for GTK+ 2.18.9 .

The good thing will be to use the reference as contextsensitive help in editors.



Do you and others like them separately or all in one file?



Regards,

Michael
