No, this kludge only works for the FLP device. > As you correctly found out you also need a newer Menu_rext :-) Menu > extensions are not free and have to be purchased however for your purposes > config_exe (that doesn't require Menu extensions) can be used.

Well, it's absolutely not *self* modifying. It's done in a precisely defined way by another application and not during runtime, therefore all the rules that say "modifying code is bad" don't apply. And as the concept of a "working directory" or a "current directory" is alien to the QL it's actually the only way it can really work. >> Funny (or not) but it is like an endless chain of problems, whenever you >> have solved one you run into the next... Well, that very much reminds me of myself setting up a new linux box (router, file server, ISDN server, fax server, FTP server and filesharer in one machine) the last days. As soon as you want to do something that is not part of your distribution you're up for trouble. So, times have not changed that much ;-) Marcel _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.quanta.org.uk/mailing.htm
