Either will be allowable :) also, there will be a new command: LOAD ABS filename$ (or similar variants -- all ABS filename$ tho') These will take a filename *AS IS* and use *THAT* in the current path -- it won't try and switch directory or anything.

Although apparently MAT of ESI was planning on writing a UNIX style OS for the SAM -- available on disk soon? :) Si +----------------INTERNET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Blood Succour: Another name for a helpful vampire??? :) | | "The Chronos Theorem" -- Update: 80 pages and holding | +------------------JANET: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
