This thread reminds me of a thought I had about a possibly useful forum implementation.
I was thinking that we might post a single PICAXE BASIC command as a thread title every few days, and have everyone knowledgeable and willing contribute comments and code snippets regarding the use (or misuse) of that command - what it does, how it does it, when it's most useful, and when it's not. Also tips and tricks we implement using it in order to make our code run better, run faster, be smaller, etc.
By naming each thread with the BASIC command name itself it would be very easy to find it with a site search. It would also make it very easy to print up each thread and add it to a command compendium for convenient reference.
Manual 2 is of course very helpful, but it is rightfully limited in its scope, and thus leaves out a great deal of info that is the difference between being proficient with a command and being just a Noob with its use.
