In it there is a program called Automate which allows you to type in BASIC commands and then it will write the ml code for it. It is very short. Unfortunately, since it is from Compute! there is a copyright problem. I really wish Compute! wasn't so tough on copyrighting programs such as these. I mean, is it really worth it? The program is quite short, not even a hunderd lines. The easiest thing to do with this program is to give it one BASIC command... RUN"D1:YOURFILE.BAS" and then you're on your way. It is on page 167 of the above mentioned book. A very useful utility!
