I believe "sysres" also has this feature, along with a few PD routines floating around on the networks these days. It simply takes a seq file from the disk as if it were typed into the computer, entering the lines as they are listed on the screen, thus making them into a BASIC program. Hope this helps. Dumb question, by the way, I just started using the network features here, and have no idea how to show which message you are responding to. Seeing the headers on responses makes me sure that there is a command of some sort to enter ththe original post header, etc.. could someone tell me how to do this? Thanks!
