Hey ModelT enthusiats! Has anyone cracked the code on how to access the paste buffer from inside a BASIC program? I have some utilities I'm working on that would benefit from using the pastebuffer as an IPC mechanism, since sometimes they're just generating something I want to insert into a document.
It feels like you should be able to open the paste buffer's file as an input/output channel, since it looks like it's stored as an invisible file, but I can't figure out how to do it. I have a Model102, so the hidden filename of this buffer is semi-randomized. I imagine it would be possible with a small machine language routine to open that file and bind it to an IO channel in BASIC. (Maybe passing the channel number in A, and some option flags in HL), but I don't understand the Model100's ROM routines well enough to pull that off, and I would be shocked if I were the first person to think of doing this. Anyhow, thanks for any idea! Dan Higdon
