So I have 3 questions.
1. How can I get commands (such as TALLY or WRITE) to show up on the
screen in
applications after using the "output screen" command?
2. I thought in version 6 there was a way to write to a file, then display
the file in a
non-editable, scrolling format, but for some reason I can't seem to
remember or find
the command to view the file (something other than TYPE). Anyone know of
what
I speak?
3. I have no doubt that I have overlooked one or more features in version
7. In
version 7 is there a better way to do the above?
Michael,
Use the eloquent method to achieve the same results in R:BASE
7.x and V-8 "Turbo" for "Windows".
Here's how:
01. OUTPUT filename.PDF PDF
-- do what you have to do here ...
OUTPUT SCREEN
LAUNCH filename.PDF
Also:
01. Take a look a the following topics in RBG7 Help file:
Obsolete Commands: HELP OBSOLETE
02. What's New in R:BASE 7.x

. New Commands/Functions
