LINE 1815 if lof (1) < 5 then er=35:goto1530 just doesn't seem to work what i am doing wrong or am I just not thinking straight. Also how do you get a dir of a disk that you have formatted yourself and have loaded programs on ????? I am about ready to pull my hair out trying to do it. thanks for the program paul

Paul, I didn't upload the address file, since the addresses I keep wouldn't mean anything to anyone else. I thought each user could create his own address file according to his own needs. If your getting an error in line 1815 then apparently you haven't create your own address file yet, and the program has nothing to read in. Explain further what you mean about how to do a dir on a disk you've formatted and saved files on. There shouldn't be any problem that I can see. Mention your Amiga setup. Later, Ed

Paul.. The trick is to use short names on all your disks. Then when you want to do anything with a disk from CLI or ABasiC, use the name instead of the device, ie. if a disk is named BAS do a 'chdir' as follows: chdir "bas:" You will be prompted all the way. Regards, Larry.
