You might need a program to trigger and load immediately. NADSBox can transmit after a delay so you just need the command. Don't know if backpack has such a command. But you shouldn't have to load a "line at a time" Even better if you are using TSDOS I believe you just need to use it in DOS-ON mode. LOAD"0:PROG.DO should load a text encoded BASIC program in one step IIRC. -- John.
