1Is there anywhere that I can learn more about Verbal Basic other than the Knowbrainer Verbal Basic book. That book is about as clear as mud, and definitely not written well for the beginner. I'm sure it's great if you already have a bit of knowledge about it.

I need to know how to do simple things, like:

1. How do I pick a menu item such as file.  I thought it would be with the pickmenu command  but evidently I'm missing something. When I use the menupick item file,  DNS error message says it "cannot find menu item with caption 'file'", even though I am in Outlook

2. I need to know how to pick a down arrow that brings up more choices, so I can choose a color.

I would love to see a working copy of the macro that I was working on before in my last post here because it contains both those  items, and would allow me to do a lot in customizing Knowbrainer and Dragon. 

I like Knowbrainer, and think it's an excellent addition to DNS, but a clear manual on how to write commands, written for the beginner that has zero knowledge, would be appreciated and used by many people. 

I think it would also increase sales when people could read a manual and actually understand how to make their own commands.

I'd be willing to buy a manual if there was one available that was written so a beginner could understand it.

1Ok, I understand how the Send Keys function works. Slowly making progress here.

I looked at the examples in Word. It uses the Color it "red" to make the change.

I don't think I can use that because I'm not coloring a specific text.

I'm changing the default color for emails instead. I change this throughout the day.

I need to know 2 things

1. How do I pick a certain tab.  For example if you select the menu item Tools and then  Options, there are 6 tabs across the tab, and I need to choose "mail format"

2. When I get to Fonts, and then CHoose Fonts, there is a section called Effects. It has a down arrow that you click on that show s you the different colors. I need to know how to choose a color in that drop down menu.

1Can you tell me how to find the KB global commands?

When I click on KBPro, and select KB menu item I am taken to a window with 3 input boxes at the top, and 2 large boxes beneath.

Bottom box has global commands in it

middle box has Natspeak

top box has sytem.dvc 

When I click KB2006 in the middle box,  I only see 6 commands. I'm sure there are more, but where,  lol. 

When I first go there, I have global in the bottom box, but when I select KB2006 in the top box, the GLOBAL goes away.
