- LSTRANGE displays named ranges in Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet files. Output
- can be viewed on the screen or redirected to the printer or to a file
- using standard DOS redirection symbols.
-
-
-
- Syntax: LSTRANGE [<path>]<filespec>"
-
- where: <filespec> is the file name of the spreadsheet to read. If no
- extension is specified, LSTRANGE will look for <filespec>.WKS
- first, and if unseccessful, will look for <filespec>.WK1.
- <path> is an optional DOS path specification.
-
- if LSTRANGE is run without <filespec> or with an invalid <filespec>, it
- will display the correct syntax as shown above. This will not be
- redirected.
-
-
- You should be able to just load the source code into PowerBASIC and
- select Compile to create the EXE file.

- I couldn't find a straight foward method of sending output to DOS
- stdout. In Turbo Basic I could open "CON" for output, find the DOS file
- handle in the TB string segment, and change it &h01, which is the DOS
- file handle for stdout. I want to do this with PB when I find out where
- PB stores the file buffer handles. If anyone knows a better way than
- this or a better way than my StdOut() routine (in FILEUTIL.INC) please
- let me know.
