I was thinking specifically of it creating superbasic extensions deliberately for that purpose, to be LRESPR'd and linked into the keyword list. It would make for an interesting website to host, where people could submit keywords with manual entries, and release updated versions, etc. The commands could be coded in native assembly, or in BASIC, with sources or not. Where sources were offered, people could check for errors, or offer enhancements/patches. By extending this to existing keywords, skilled people could make functionality or performance enhancements that could then feed back into the OS. I would be happy to code and host such a site, if there was interest. Dave _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
