Lee, there are a number of toolkits that allow you to check for specific other toolkit commands loaded or not - But this is a bit useless as it leaves you with a chicken-and-egg problem: How to check whether the checking toolkit is loaded?
Your best bet on SMSQ/E would be a WHEN ERRor clause you place just in front of a Toolkit command you are about to execute: 1000 TurboTkLoaded = 1 1010 WHEN ERRor 1020 TurboTkLoaded = 0 1030 END WHEN 1040 REMark Execute a Toolkit command 1050 MANIFEST : x = 100 1055 REMark de-activate error checker 1060 WHEN ERRor 1070 END WHEN 1080 PRINT "Turbo Toolkit loaded:"!TurboTkLoaded On a QL with non-working WHEN ERRor commands (pre-MG) you are a bit doomed, the only thing I could probably come up with is writing a BASIC program that PEEKs the name list, which is not quite so simple.
