That's true, but many years ago, I remember I bodged a small program together, which took a text file and wrote it in to SAM line by line using a MasterBasic command.
Can't remember the command off the top of my head (been a long time), but as long as the syntax was correct, it would enter it as if you were writing the line. It was useful before the emulators as you could write a bunch of lines elsewhere, (on a PC at work for example!),and bulk enter them in to a real SAM later on. It was not ideal, but saved some time re-entering lines again. Andy Saturday, February 5, 2005, 12:47:08 PM, you wrote: Aley> Paolo, Aley> as I wrote, STI converts text files from Sam to PC.
