Subj: REPLY TO MSG #945 (HOW ABOUT A DATE?)
Yep... that's the best solution, with NEW last. My response to Rick made it seem like the NEW was planted in the middle--by you, as I recall--to solicit responses from readers. I almost pulled it off, too. I guess you can fool some of the people some of the time but then you get caught. Darn! It was working so well... until... :-( I started playing with the KEY command, looking for a way to deal with or extend the 15 character limit. CLEAR0,MAXRAM:MAXFILES=1:NEW is more than 15 characters. Can't seem to find a way to string it all together into one simple function key. You see, if you make a program by placing a 0 in front of the above code, the code goes bye bye when you run it, i.e., it doesn't matter if you key it in each time or key it in and save it as a .BA, it erases itself in any case. The idea I'm working on is embedding something like RUN"CLENUP into one of the function keys. The actual code would exist in CLENUP.DO. The command works just fine from the command line but I am unable to embed character 34 " into a function key like key 2 = Load " and key 3 = Save ". How can I embed the " into a function key definition? Don't you just love triva BS like this...? -Rick-
