Hi Kurt,
Looking at the NEWDOS assembly source, the TS-DOS RST 7,30 handler (the
BASIC "OPEN" handler), it specifically checks if the first byte of the
filename is 'D' and generates an error back to BASIC if it is not. It
probably wouldn't be too difficult to add the feature to NEWDOS to
support directory change by searching for the "<>" extension.

With TS-DOS loaded in the ON state, I can open, read & write files

ability to change directories from Basic when attached to DeskLink?
I've tried doing an open using "0:DIR123.<>" which is how TS-DOS would
normally change directories when the program is running but Basic
gives me an error. Has anybody tried this and been successful?
I may end up having to write a little Basic script to do this by
sending the proper commands but I wanted to check first.
