And what cruel devil put as "s" in lisp?

A thermos flask keeps hot things hot and cold things cold - how does it
know?

Or if you unwrap some cling film from a block of cheese, then eat half the
cheese, even though there is half as much the cling film still doesn't cover
it?

Thanks, John.

It's a Toshiba T1910CS (from memory at least)

Trouble is, we don't know if the laptop itself is still working.

It had been stolen and after it was recovered the power supply no longer works, 
so he's not prepared to invest too much in case the laptop is now broken too. 
I've told him I'll try for a few days to get things working for him, after that 
he's on his own.

Thanks for this offer David, but someone has also offered a cheap laptop which 
I need to discuss with the owner of the laptop. As it's not mine, I don't want 
to get into too much DIY if I can help it. I'm hoping to speak to him tonight 
or tomorrow night to discuss the various offers people have made and see how he 
wants to proceed.

Once again, the generosity and helpfulness of the QL community continues to 
know no bounds!

The latest beta test version of Turbo, v4d21, should soon be on the SQLUG 
site. This one has compiled QPTR's "demo_bas" (after some modifications).

[ql-users] QStarter, QFiles

2005-04-07 Thread Dilwyn Jones
At last I've been able to update the QStarter program thanks to an 
upgrade of an extensions file from Marcel. The updated v1.01 has just 
been uploaded to my website.

Another new little program has been uploaded - QFiles is a button 
which calls a File_Select$ menu from QMenu to allow indirect pointer 
driven file selection from non-pointered programs such as Quill. Click 
on the QFiles button, select the file with the usual File_Select$ menu 
and the filename is placed in the stuffer buffer, ready to be 
recovered with a simple ALT-SPACE keypress in the non-pointered 
program. Obviously pointer environment and QMenu (Menu Extension from 
Jochen Merz) are required. If your version of QMenu is recent enough, 
QFiles will also use the System Palette colours.
