BASIC style:

dim score[35] as String

Java style:

dim score as new String[]

The former are static (no REDIM) but are multi-dimensional.
The latter are dynamic, but you have to add elements before 
referring to them (e.g. 

for i = 1 to 35 
	score.add "default value"
next

)... of course, you can simulate multidimensionality in the 
dynamic ones by making an array of objects and assigning an 
array of strings to each object.... and there's also 
collections, which are like a special case of array where the 
keys are variants.

The KeyPress and KeyRelease events have changed.... they take no 
parameters now, but you can just do this inside them:

IF Key.Code = Key.Return THEN
   Run_Button_Click()
ENDIF

It's in the new documentation, but of course there are other 
issues with the new documentation I need to work out (and in 
fact I need to re-export for 0.74 over the holidays.)

I haven't seen that error message before.  When did it come up 
exactly? ;)
