- Can anyone tell me if ProSel can be made to launch data files in a manner
- similar to the Finder (ie: by posting a message center message containing
- the data file name, and then running an associated application).
-
- Next question: Are there any launchers, including ProSel, that can do the
- same sort of thing on an 8-bit Apple //.
- This could be done by storing the data file name in some area of memory,
- such as $200 for example, and then running a .SYS program that knew to
- look for it there.
- I think I'm pushing my luck - but any takers?
