I would have thought that the WIN_USE flp workaround might have been helpful, but that doesnt seem to work on QPC2 V3.33: WIN_USE ram: DIR ram1_ displays the directory of win1_ but WIN_USE flp: DIR flp1_ just returns "Not found". Even WIN_USE rat: DIR rat1_ works fine! Is this an error? (I dont normally have an flp attached to my laptop either (USB ones can be had for under £20, though)) Per _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
