[Ql-Users] Question regarding the QDT desktop and SBASIC job 0 windows...
Hi * I have a question regarding QDT that I have installed in my QPC environment. I have not made much use of QDT since I purchased it some time ago, partly due to the way that the QDT desktop always sits 'behind' my extended SBASIC job 0 windows. I have enabled a QDT desktop background that just peeks from underneath my job 0 windows (which don't quite fill the 800x600 QPC window that I use), but I can never send the job 0 windows to the background, in the way that I would expect (i.e. from principally using Windows). When I switch to any of the QDT icons, they do appear on top as you would expect, so I don't think there is an error in that software. I guess I am missing some understanding of the way PE windows work - what I would like to achieve is to treat the job 0 windows in the same way as any other job and have them hidden by the QDT desktop whenever QDT is brought to the top, just as one might click 'Show Desktop' in Windows. Any advice? I'd like to use QDT more (as well as see it continue to be developed!). Regards, Martyn Hill London. ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
[Ql-Users] Question regarding the expected behaviour of the SBASIC cmd MRUN in a program...
Hi again Could anyone say whether the behaviour that I'm seeing when using MRUN in a running SBASIC prog is expected? As part of my initial SB boot prog, I include an MRUN statement that successfully merges some useful SB definitions (only). I expect the boot prog to continue to execute the next statement, but it simply stops after merging the DEFs. I'm running this in QPC. Is this expected behaviour? I read in the manual that MRUN in a program _should_ continue with the next runnable statement in the program.

[Ql-Users] (Another) Question - Is it possible to save the QPC state?
Hello again While I'm at it, I was also wondering whether anyone knew if QPC can be made to save the QL environment before closing so that one could start-up where one left off? I know QPC copes well if I place my laptop to sleep, but it would be helpful to be able to save the entire emulated environment so that I could nip in and out without a complete QL restart... I should probably send this directly to Marcel, but see that he reads this list... Regards, Martyn Hill London ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
Re: [Ql-Users] QPC2 and direct sector access
Yo :) then it's some sort of miracle. Usually I do know what my code can do and what not. The generally used name for this sort of miracle would be bug :)) Usually more code a programmer is generating, more miracles can be discovered... In very rare cases a bug can be used as a feature - that then is real miracle :) In this case, there's no bug, so no way to a direct sector access in QPC2 :-( @+ ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
