Wayne, I should have ready your message first before writing my previous email. Transferring CO files is best done with a TPDD client. It takes the headache out of things. TEENY is a nice small one that will allow you to load those files without too much trouble. TS-DOS is more user friendly but it takes about 6k to run so that may not leave you enough room to load everything for lpm. There are two automated ways to load TEENY that I am aware of. Either use the TEENY.EXE on a DOS PC and follow the instructions or use mComm on your Windows PC or Android device to inject it. A third but manual way would be to load the untokenized BASIC code that mComm uses to inject TEENY or TS-DOS over a terminal program. The TEENY code is the same that TEENY.EXE uses and the TS-DOS code is something I came up with. I don't have any of that code in front of me right now but I could send it to you if the other methods don't work. You will need a TPDD emulator on the PC side of things. Kurt
