@Bharat: Here is a sanitized example of assembling xml. You can write the resulting string to a file or whatever you need to do with it.

xml_request = "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>"
+ @nl() + "<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv=" + @chr(34) + "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" + @chr(34) + " xmlns:urn=" + @chr(34) + "urn:networksolutions:apis" + @chr(34) + ">"
+ @nl() + "   <soapenv:Header>"
+ @nl() + "      <urn:SecurityCredential>"
+ @nl() + "         <urn:Application>redacted</urn:Application>"
+ @nl() + "         <urn:Certificate>redacted</urn:Certificate>"
+ @nl() + "         <urn:UserToken>redacted</urn:UserToken>"
+ @nl() + "      </urn:SecurityCredential>"
+ @nl() + "   </soapenv:Header>"
+ @nl() + "   <soapenv:Body>"
+ @nl() + "      <urn:ReadOrderRequest>"
+ @nl() + "         <urn:DetailSize>Large</urn:DetailSize>"
+ @nl() + "         <urn:FilterList OrClause=" + @chr(34) + "0" + @chr(34) + ">"
+ @nl() + "            <urn:Field>OrderNumber</urn:Field>"
+ @nl() + "            <urn:Operator>Equal</urn:Operator>"
+ @nl() + "            <urn:ValueList>" + OrderNumber + "</urn:ValueList>"
+ @nl() + "         </urn:FilterList>"
+ @nl() + "      </urn:ReadOrderRequest>"
+ @nl() + "   </soapenv:Body>"
+ @nl() + "</soapenv:Envelope>"
+ @nl()  

Another really handy helper for new users (and the rest of us) would be the addition to the list browser of a Commands sorted by use option. What I mean by this is.

I love the right click feature in Sbasic to select an element or find a command. I use this feature often, however I am constantly going to the manual and looking in the section that sorts the commands by use. I often know the command exists but you have given us so many incredible commands that I sometimes find it difficult to remember the exact one I want.  When I use the list browser I end up reading through the entire list just to be sure I am not skipping a better one to use. In the manual the way you have the sorted list section, I just look for the section called "user interaction or whatever I may need at the moment" and read those commands and move along quickly back to my Sbasic Code.

I will admit, repeatedly reading the entire command list helps me to be a better Sesame Sbasic user in the long term, however it may be a bit overwhelming for someone new to Sesame.

Again, not a necessary need, but figured I would put it out there anyway.

Thanks for listening to us users!

Set up either a keystroke or right-click option that will select the program code the cursor is currently on, figure out which SBasic command or function it's using and search for or jump to that in the SBasic PDF manual in a PDF reader. (Either use an API to Adobe Reader or create a standalone reader based on code available under GNU or similar terms.)

I like this. Unless you are programming everyday, you are likely to forget the syntax. Instead of referring book every time, something right on the screen at the click of a button is the best you can ask for!

How about adding the ability to select more than one element at a time in Set Navigation Order.

List Browser enhancement request.

Currently when you double click on a code item in the List Browser, the code is inserted into the Program Editor like this: @XResultsetsearch()

It would be helpful to me to have the entire line including the requirements to be inserted when double clicked, like this: @XResultsetsearch(filename as string, db as string, search_mode as int, search-syntax as int, … as string) as int

This may sound petty, but for unfamiliar code I constantly find myself going back and forth from the Program Editor to the List Browser looking for the requirements.

We may be able to do something along these lines. I'd like it to be in addition to the current insertion, so that folk that prefer to simply fill in the arguments can, without having to delete the other material (i.e.: "as string", sample element/variable names, etc).

In the meantime, are you aware that you can leave the list browser up on the screen while you type in the programming editor? You don't have to go back and forth.
