The QWA file system normaly has its Primary Partition Table at sector 0. To check: open#3; "win1_*d2d" get#3\0; sec$: close#3 print sec$(1 to 4) If that shows QLWA then youre looking directly at your hard disk partition (a QXL.WIN-type FAT) If it says QWA youre looking at the QL PPT. To find your QLWA FAT you need to get its starting sector out of the primary partition table: start_sector = $1c7 + win_no * 12 Check the location at start_sector to see that you got a QWA flag (rather than GEM, LNX, etc). For a single partition my guess is it would be located at sector #1, but this would depend on what program was used to create the partition table(s) and how it was created, as the GEM partitioning scheme (on which QWA is based) allows for plenty of flexibility. However, I suspect, only a small subset has been implemented in the Qx0 version of SMSQ/E, and a lot of that is, lets say, in the early stages of development (SMSQ/E v 2.9x). Per
