There are multiple steps besides just MAKHOL. Why not just use a regular file? BASIC knows how to deal with RAM text files. You can mark it hidden so it doesn't show up in the menu. Hopefully BASIC would still let you access it hidden, don't know. You could unhide it temporarily if necessary. But it will take up one menu slot. Hey there's an idea... maybe patch the paste buffer entry in the Directory... HAYASH to make it visible to BASIC (give it a name, unhide it, open, append, close) -- John.
