qb64/internal/help/AS.txt
Luke Ceddia b586eafd3b Integrated _BLINEINPUT into regular LINE INPUT for BINARY files
LINE INPUT will now use the faster method if passed a file handle
that has been opened FOR BINARY. As such, the _BLINEINPUT command
has been removed.

qb64.bas now takes advantage of this for reading from '$include files,
at least in Include Manager 1. Some tweaking of internal/source/main.txt
was required to get things into a sane state, so I'm holing off changing
the compiler any further so the auto-builder can make sure everything's
smoothed over.

Note: Everything should still compile as normal; I'm just being overcautious.

:::::[[DIM]] or [[REDIM]]
:::::[[DECLARE]]
:::::[[SUB]]

:::::[[TYPE]]
:::::[[DEF FN]]
:::::[[SHARED]]

* Specifies a '''[[parameter]]''' variable's type in a [[SUB]] or [[FUNCTION]] procedure. '''Cannot be used to define a function's [[TYPE]]!'''
* Specifies an element's type in a user-defined data type: [[TYPE]]
* Assigns a file number to a file or device in an [[OPEN]] statement:
* Specifies a field name in a random-access record: [[FIELD]]
* Specifies a new file name when you rename a file: [[NAME]]
* '''NOTE: Many Qbasic keyword variable names CAN be used with a [[STRING]] suffix($) ONLY! You CANNOT use them without the suffix, use a numerical suffix or use [[DIM]], [[REDIM]], [[_DEFINE]], [[BYVAL]] or [[TYPE]] variable [[AS]] statements!'''
