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-
