Not a Hack ... But a Request non the less...

[sketch42]

I would like to try making a hack but i dont know my way around vb3 and all the different phrases etc... is there any documentation that lists all of them with an brief description of what they do??

lists what? phrases?

Phrases are just bits of text that are in templates. The reasaon for using a phrase instead of the text itself is for easier conversion for other languages. That way they just add another languange phrase set instead of maintaing a whole different set of phrases...

Not all hacks use phrases, some people are nice and try to be consistent with vB3 coding guidelines so they use phrases, but it's not a necessity for hacks. ;)
