Hi everyone

As part of an on-going SB Editor project in QPC/SMSQ-E, I am reseraching ways to queue SB commands in to a daughter SB job.

Extensions such as SG's QUEUE% or Turbo's TYPE_IN don't quite work for this purpose as I need to queue the commands from another SB (eventualy Turbo'd) job rather than into the current keyboard queue (as pointed to by SYS_CKYQ - QUEUE% - or into the the #0 of the current job - TYPE_IN).

So far, I've found no explicit documentation on where to find the type-ahead buffer in SMSQ/E CON channels (only the SCR defintion block's are described in detail), but my own digging around shows that the (serial queue) buffer appears to sit at offset 152dec. ($98) from the start of a CON defintion block (after all the SCR-like variables).

So, my question, what is the offical/safest/most portable way to queue text in to a given CON (#0 for daughter SB) channel belonging to another job?

Thanks for any ideas/alternatives.

Martyn,
London.
