"win1_prg_fred_bas" is the Save Name as far as Im concerned as I dont know
what else to call it. The Save Path (or directory) here is win1_prg.
Right, I wasn't even aware of that possibility!
I've had a quick look, this seem to be an Sbasic specific feature, it doesn't exist in Superbasic (nor, I think in TK II, but could somebody check?)..
Yes, this was introduced in smsq/e and is not even present in Minerva.
Perhaps, in that case, it should be kept separate from the home dir and a simple function should return that name? The name also seems to be limited to 36 bytes, something I'd like to avoid for the Homedir thing.
Just on a side note - why does everyone refer to 36 bytes as the filename length?
It is 41 (including the device name), or 42 if over a network server (eg. n2_win1_test_bas)
