FOR WHAT IT IS WORTH The description of the information stored in bytes 64659-64666 is NOT the current basic program name as stated in: Tech Ref.; MAP.100. or Covington's Map part VII These bytes contain the name of the LAST: "DO" file; 1. typed in at the "File to edit" command in TEXT. 2. "Opened" by command in a basic program. 3. typed in at the F2 Load" prompt in basic. 4. .BA program EDITED after LOAD: Listed with 3rd letter missing +DO OR "BA" programs; 1. Typed in at the F2 Load prompt in basic. 2. Run by the command RUN"file", either in a program or typed in basic. 3. Saved in basic 4. Loaded from disk OR CO's: the last loadmed, savemd, or runmed OR ANY flie Named NEW in NAME "old" AS "new" Killed " Also the bytes 64668-64676 contain the "old" in the name "old" as "new" command. Anyhow, I only know this because I had a use for the name of the current basic program. And alas, this wasn't it. DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHERE THE INFORMATION IS THAT CAUSES THE * TO FOLLOW THE BA NAME WHEN FILES ARE LISTED AND A PROGRAM IS LOADED?? -CARROLL--
