I uploaded an example of how to use ExNext to DL7 called exnext.arc. While writing it I found that if I changed the contents of the FIB that ExNext would faulter. I never crashed my system but did get infinite loops when trying to examine floppy disk directories. Any directory on the RAM disk worked fine. Also sometimes I would get proper termination but not all of the files in the floppy directory would listed. I hope this helps. The code should be very understandable (I hope). Darrel

Darrel, I got past ExNext by long-word aligning the fib as you recommended. Thanx! I still don't have the file requester working properly. When do you think you'll have yours done? (which I'll be gald to pay for). If soon then perhaps I'll give up on mine. If you display files after each ExNext, that means they won't be in alphabetical order? Can you make string gadgets active? If I use ACTIVATE flag I indeed get a cursor inside the string gadget, but I still have to click the gadget to type (which is confusing). I am using a STRINGCENTER gadget, and it responds verrry slowly to the keyboard. Have you had that problem? Thanx!!! —Mike

Mike; About making string gadgets active. Yes you can, take a look in DL9 at the most recent version of a file called (something like) REQN1.C It includes code that does that. Ray
