Hi,

I'll share our experience to edit the BASIC code locally with vscode/rocket-mvbasic.
Simply, we combine the rocket-mvbasic with sftp extension sftp sync extension for VS Code
- setup a ssh service on your db-server c.f. ssh.com/academy
- setup the two extensions under vscode.
- create a local directory 'local-source'
- inside the local-source, create a sub-directory named like your account you will edit the code
- start vscode on local-source\\myaccount
- save a workspace on local-source\\myaccount (to receive .vscode and .rmv settings)
- start CommandPalett > Sftp: Config (which create a sub-dir .vscode and a sftp.json file you edit)

{
    "name": "the name of the profile",
    "host": "servername",
    "protocol": "sftp",
    "port": 22,
    "username": "userid",
    "password": "password",
    "remotePath": "/path/to.myaccount",
    "uploadOnSave": true,
    "downloadOnOpen": true,
    "ignore": [
        ".DS_Store", ".git", ".vscode", ".mvx-ide", ".hs_debuginfo", ".rnd", ".rmv",
        "&COMO&", "&HOLD&", "&PH&", ...
        you list all the files which are not BASIC sources
        ]
}
​

- save the sftp.json file
- start CommandPalett > Sftp: Download Project (SFTP will download all files/directories into the folder)

From that point, you can edit your basic code,
- if sftp.uploadOnSave is true, the sync upload to the server is done when you save the item. 
- there is Sftp command to 'compare with remote', 'force upload', 'force download' ... c.f. commandPalett Sftp: ... 

if you add files.associations "**/local-source/**" with rocket-mvbasic, the rocket-mvbasic extension start autmatically. 

"settings":{
    "files.associations": {
        "**/BP/*": "rocket-mvbasic",
        "**/*BASIC/*": "rocket-mvbasic",
        "**/*INCLUDE/*": "rocket-mvbasic"
    }
}
​

enjoy vscode!
