As a novice reader of this newsgroup, I have to hope this topic hasn't
been beaten to death already....

According to the MS Basic 2.0 documentation, old 1.0 programs with
line numbers, etc. can be run under the new version. When I try
to open the program I get a message saying that no application
exists to open the file. When I give a specific "LOAD" command
to MS basic, I get the message "Bad File Mode". Are MS Basic 1.0
programs runnable with 2.0? The file owner and file type associated
with the old program are different than those for a newly created test
program. Anybody know how to save the program?
