This package contains macros and menus to be used with RapidQ Basic
compiler.


	Configuring Vedit for RapidQ basic compiler
	-------------------------------------------

First, extract all tie files in rapidq.zip into the user-mac directory
under your Vedit home directory.
(Then move the compiler support files to appropriate directories,
see below.)

To use the Basic user menu, select
  Misc -> Load {User} menu
and then select Basic.mnu.

If you have Vedit 6.1 or later, it is good idea to create a project
for your RapidQ programs. If you have the option
  File -> Project -> Restore full project on open
enabled, the User-menu (and other settings) will be automatically
loaded when you open the project.

To use syntax highlight, first load any basic source file. Then select
  Misc -> Load color Syntax file
and select RapidQ.syn.
To use this syntax file automatically for all .bas files, select
  Config -> File open confit -> Save filename extension config.




	Vedit compiler support for RapidQ
	---------------------------------

These files were tested with Vedit 6.11, but they may work
with older versions, too.

To install Vedit compiler support for RapidQ:

1. Copy the file RapidQ.vcs to the compile sub-directory under
   Vedit home directory.
2. Copy the files compile.vco and RapidQ.bat into your project directory
   (the directory where your source files are located).
3. Edit the correct path to RapidQ compiler in the files compile.vco
   and RapidQ.bat.
4. If not already loaded, load the compiler support tools menu
   (Misc -> Load compiler support). *)
5. It is good idea to create a Vedit project for your RapidQ projects.
   If you enable the setting "Restore full project on open", then
   the Tools menu and other settings are automatically loaded when
   you open the project.


*) Note: you may use the standard COMPILE.MNU menu with RapidQ compiler
support (see below). However, you can optionally load the enclosed
RQ_TOOLS.MNU that is better suited for RapidQ, by selecting
  Misc -> Load Tools menu

Note2: RapixQ.bat is needed since Vedit expects the compiler support
macro (*.vcs) to have the same name as the command used to run the
compiler.

If you are using the standard COMPILE.MNU,
  To compile your source file,      select Tools -> Compile
  To run the compiled applicatlion, select Tools -> Link
  To open GUI designer,             select Tools -> Debug

If you are using RQ_COMP.MNU, the Compile, Run and GUI designer
options are displayed in the menu.
