Subj: REPLY TO MSG #6062 (CAN'T KILL FILE.)

Actually you can use a direct mode KILL statement, rather than make and Run a
BASIC program.  Use the following statement directly in BASIC.
 
F$="KILL"+CHR$(34)+"I.DO":KILLF$
 
All that's needed is to form the file name from hell within a string variable.
That way, BASIC doesn't delimit the name by way of quote signs because the LEN
of the variable is the delimiter of string length.
