Karen,
I have an R:BASE 5.5 Reference Manual which has details for the GATEWAY command. Would you like me to scan this and send it to you ?

Wow, just got a call from a client that I haven't heard from in years that wants to export data from a DOS 6.1A database because they're moving to a new off-the-shelf software (I honestly thought they had moved to other software years ago). I thought I could write a program with a few "gateway export" commands that they could run themselves (they have no dial-in capability and are over an hour's drive). But looking at the internal help for DOS 6.1A, it seems that "gateway export" wasn't available back then! I see that you could run GATEWAY [script] It says: "the script option automatically executes the specified script file" But I don't remember how you wrote script file back then. And I threw away all my old reference books. Anyone know how you would write an export script to unload all the data from a table to an excel spreadsheet? Brain teaser! Karen
