*EDIT - Just added MaskImage3D command.

SpriteControl Docs Pak:
=======================
There is now a Spritecontrol Docs Pak available.

By installing the Docs Pak you will have instant help for each of the SpriteControl functions.
Plus, all of the commands are recognised by Blitz3D ( highlighted/capitalised).
Also, the F1 help function works as well!

** Note 1: You need the latest version of Blitz3D with the userlibs feature for this to work.

To install the docs, extract the pak to Blitz3D's main folder. For example, into:

c:\program files\blitz3d\

After installation run Blitz3D. Go to the help page and click the 'Command Reference' link.
You should see the SpriteControl link which will give you a list of available commands/functions.
Alternatively, press F1 over any of the commands in the code examples for instant help.

** Note 2 : There is a modified command_list.htm file in the pak. This comes from version 1.83 of the Blitz docs.
If you choose not to overwrite your existing command_list.htm you'll only loose the SpriteControl command list.
The F1 help will still work :-)
