I found a MSX BASIC manual online (in portugese). Does anybody know where i can find one in english or dutch? (not a book, but a file to download or a webpage)

ftp.funet.fi has a lot of manauls. Both usemanuals and service manuals

but not a BASIC manual

If you live in the Netherlands, check your local library, Slegte (or other 2nd hand bookstore) or flea market and you're bound to find loads of BASIC manuals

the library sold all their old books a year ago.
i don't live near a second hand bookstore

Maybe someone wants to sell his manuals (hint: the trading section). Otherwise, have a little bit more patience and visit Bussum this year.

i doo not want to buy a manual! i got a MSX computer for €2. Then i had to buy a tape drive for € 15. And i'm NOT going to spend any more money on a manual! I know it's on the web, i just don't know where. I found a portugese version, only problem is i don't speak portugese. There must be someone who uploaded the English or Dutch version. l I just don't know where to find it!

I wouldn't be so sure of that...
Seriously though, DOWNLOAD THE DAMN SERVICE MANUALS FROM FUNET!
Some of them (not all) actually have an MSX BASIC manual in them.

And BTW, why did you choose ------ for nickname? It's pretty annoying...
