the _really_ kludgy way of doing it would be to have a function that locates DOS's master command-line buffer, writes the command line to it, then jumps to the command-line scanner. of course, this would be totally version-specific, and wouldn't be guaranteed to work even under the SAME version on different machines, but….. who needs portability? <grin> [76703,4060] LETTER.4TH 30-Jun-86 8610 Accesses: 7 Keywords: PIRKO JUL86 LETTERS BASIC CAMPBELL SQUARE ROOT Listing 1 – Square root algorithm, Plus code to benchmark and test it – Listing 2 – BASIC program to test if a formula makes good square root guesses.
