** Message forwarded by DREW BLANCHAR at 12:03:08 on 03-16-97 ** Aha! I'm glad I scanned this message base--I was wondering if LINE INPUT was possible on a file; the "TRS-80(R) Model 100 Owner's Manual" [(c)1983 Tandy Corporation] is conspicuously silent in chapter 16, "BASIC Keywords", over how one would use "LINE INPUT" with a file. {Strangely, the entry for "LINE INPUT" is on page 153, after "LLIST", instead of being on the preceding page, after "LINE".} Rick, please make a note of this erratum. I dunno if the "Whole Enchilada" has a section for this, but.... The correct usage of "LINE INPUT" for a file is illustrated on "Sample Session #3", page 203 of the Owner's Manual-- 1440 LINE INPUT #1, Z$ I was *quite* happy to find this, and have utilized this function in the SEXY.BA program which I've just UPLOADed. Thanks for your message--it was just the tip I needed.
