Thanks George:
So I would need to launch the device IDE, load the TXT file and then run it from there? Hmmm. . . . So simple and I had never done this before. I have transferred the TXT file to the device before and double clicked on the TXT file but the file failed to run. I would always make sure I had saved the TXT file on the desktop as a NSB before transferring and running on the device. Thanks for the explanation as always.
