Hmm, I don't think you'll have to type in each name (unless you want to). As long as the Prefix is set accordingly, the Executioner (..tionOr?) program that I have will let me use the arrow keys (up/down) to pick a file in the current directory. Note: When picking a BAS file to work with, Executioner will eventualy ask if the file should be made into a Listing type exec file. The correct answer in this scenario is Yes. I just got done messing with Executioner so I know this to be true. However I couldn't figure out if you save a basic file as text WITH some spaces betweeen all the key words. (Executioner takes out the spaces as far as I could tell). My usuall quicky way is to ad (temporarily) a line 0 to the Basic program. (From ProDOS): 0 d$=chr$ : print d$"open basic.src" : print d$"write basic.src" : list 1, : print d$"close" >Murph Sewall Vaporware? ---> [Gary Larson returns 1/1/90] >Prof. of Marketing Sewall@UConnVM.BITNET >Business School sewall%uconnvm.bitnet@mitvma.mit.edu [INTERNET] >U of Connecticut {psuvax1 or mcvax }!UCONNVM.BITNET!SEWALL [UUCP] >[..chop] [editorial- I hate long sigs] Evan Ron Aussenberg / erast1@unix.cis.pittsburgh.edu
