No need to create an instance out of DirectOS Xtra.
Simply call the DirectOS functions from anywhere in your lingo code.
Try the following code:
on test
if the machinetype=256 then
dosopenfile(dosSelectFile("Open","c:\","filename",[],"mesage"),"Normal",0)
else
dosopenfile(dosSelectFile("Open","9
gigas:","filename",[],"mesage"),"Normal",0)
end if
end
Fell free to contact me off the list for any further information
regarding DirectOS Xtra.
