- The basic loader.
-
- I have made this simpel routine from my previously made wimp shell library
- (of course not yet fully completed,... but I'm working on it) and the
- routines I could steel from the demonstration programs. It works need and
- gives an user friendly ring to the desktop for developpers (Why din't you
- make it ACORN??). In future I hope to build a real Basic editor multitasking in the ARC unless someone beats me to it.
-
- The basic loader sets the system variable Current$Dir to the current
- directory. So when finally you want to save your program press F3 enter
- <Current$Dir>.filename and hit return or place the name in a REM statement
- on the first line (REM > <Current$Dir>.filename) to save your program.
-
- In basic the function keys are programmed in the following way.
- key 1 : RUN
- key 3 : SAVE ;filename must be at first line of program
- key 4 : QUIT ;after this press return and your back in the desktop world
- These keys are set in the !run command file of the !BasicEdit application
- directory so you can change them to your specific needs.
-
- If anyone feels the need to publish the program in any kind of magazine
- please feel free to do so. The program is mostly self explanatory. But for
- more information you can also contact me. (Phone : 070-291508 The
- Netherlands).
