Many thanks for all the help on my Abacus export task.
All is working perfectly under Q-emuLator.
I have set DATA_USE to the folders for the _aba files.
I use the following hotkey:
4310 ERT HOT_KEY('a',chr$(240)&'gi'&chr$(10)&chr$(10)&chr$(10)&'"
'&chr$(10)&chr$(240)&'e'&chr$(10)&'a1:bl1'&chr$(10)&chr$(240)&'fea'&chr$(10)&'cflp6_')
Why on earth does TT (or QDOS) not accept variables here. It would be
much neater with lf$ and f3$ pre-defined.
This fills the first row with a NUL string, which fools archive export
into doing the right thing.
The only other archive load 'feature' is that if one leaves off '_aba'
is does not default to adding this. That is another 1200 unecessary key
presses (8-(#
Export is fine and defaults to '_exp'.
