Simply enter 1 REM ...and your text... then SAVE file (enter "NEW" fist to be sure there is no programm loaded) A better way is to use EDIT (TK2) or - of course - another text editor Best for very short text is : SAVE "ram1_the magic number is 27314" > This experiment suggests QDOS does not need an EOF character (which IIRC is > not a char that sits there as a byte of the file but is rather a command to > close the file under MSDOS) You need CTRL-z onely with : COPY con_ to ser1z > In case the file would not have been properly closed on the disk - does QDOS > or TK2 have an utility to check for the integrity of a disk (something > comparable to CHKDSK from the MSDOS world)? Problems by not properly closed files is a typically "windoof" problem... oops... "feature" :) Such problems are rare with QDOS (microdrives not included :) Best regards Gerhard _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.quanta.org.uk/mailing.htm
