This is true, but with a difference. It loads DOS100.CO on demand rather than
have it reside in your RAM at all times, so when you quit TS-DOS you get the
RAM back. Sometimes you mi

So TSL100.DO is a 3K file, that can be downloaded through TELCOM or the
RUN"COM command. It's a text form of a BASIC program that creates TSLOAD.CO,
a 526 byte CO program. But TSLOAD.CO doesn't do anything but loads DOS100.CO

It all works... but if you go straight to TEE

A solution that worked for me before I had a REX was to inject TSLOAD which is

This is a TEENY loader in DO format. You run it, and it creates TEENY.CO

Well, if I try to rename ADVENT1.BA to ADVEN.DO, it still says file already

I even tried LOADing a .DO file. Again it says file already exists, but
this time the file in RAM has 1 bit. In reality it should be around 511.
Uh RAM is corrupte

Ah. I think it is a file format/ extension problem. A Known issue
ADVEN1.BA is misnamed. It is a text file, so its extension should be .DO
not .BA . .BA is only for tokenized basic programs.
TS-DOS sees the BA extension and tries to load the contents as a tokenized
(binary) BASIC program, into th
Is ADVEN1.BA a text file or tokenized basic? Quite a few of the files from
club100 have a .BA extension but are actually .DO files.

Right, so I push Disk to see the files in my TPDD directory. So for
example, let's say I want to load ADVEN1.BA, which under FILE on the M100

What file are you trying to load?
When you launch TS-DOS you are looking at the M100's directory. If you

instructions on how I now access files on my computer to transfer them to

Yes, and the something is that it was invalid syntax before python 3.5.
Perhaps you installed 3.5, but "/usr/bin/python3" is not linked to that
version?
Maybe not, but I think that being able to edit text using M100 is possibly
more convenient than using an editor in CP/M.
In any case, the REX disk and the CP/M disk can be separate.
