It is also available to Q40.
From old memory, QXL use [letter]:\QXL.WIN
with letter starting at C for win1.
If you can create subdrive (was possible with 3.11, seems to have 
disappears with latter version), and you have less than 8 partitions, 
you can in theory redefine at least win8!

As I said - sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Take my example - create an INPUT window with just one loose item (-1)

MDRAW #3,ram1_test_men
MWINDOW #3,-1
t$="Test" : MINPUT #3,t$
MCLEAR #3

Depending on where you are in a program, this may work or may fail although
I haven't managed to pin it down exactly.

The above simple routine caused me immense problems in Launchpad, as there
were several places where I needed a simple one line input menu. I can't
remember exactly how I worked around it now - it seems to work if there is
an MCALL loop though.

Sometimes it will fail in a loop; sometimes it will fail if used within a
function.

[ql-users] East Anglia QL Workshop

2004-06-23 Thread Tarquin Mills
  The ORSAM 2004 Sinclair and Clones Computer Show will be on Saturday
the 6th November at the Alec Bussey Scout Centre, off Rowington Road 
Norwich, Norfolk, England. Entry and parking are free. Map and travel 
info on the website.

  I would like to thank all those who came to last years Spectrum and SAM
event, and all who gave publicity. Those who could not come but wanted to, 
better luck this year. New this year, the show will include a Quanta QL 
Workshop, and varying coverage of other Sinclair and related computers 
and other products. Put faces to Internet names, sell your spare 
equipment, buy new retro things at sub ebay prices.

  The show will start at 10am and end 4pm, traders will have an extra 
hour either way (i.e. 9am to 5pm). People and magazines are already 
enquiring about the show, which should be bigger than last year. 

  Message to Traders: Please can you book your free place now, so that we 
can give you advanced publicity, and any special product announcements
for the show you wish to make.

  More details and up to the minute information can be read on the show
website at http://www.speccyverse.me.uk/orsam/ 
(not as wrongly printed in Jun/Jul issue of Quanta magazine).

Re: [ql-users] Justify a loose item

Hi Francois,
I can't reproduce that error.
No miracle, neither can I ;-))
Within the loop it is indeed no problem, but try this one:
mdraw #3, ram1_test_men
mwindow #3,-1:cls #3
Bang!!
which brings up the question why this doesn't happen in the loop :-(
By the way, did you receive my zip-file I promised you in Eindhoven?
No I didn't! Please try again with the above mail-address. Perhaps you took
[EMAIL PROTECTED] which I don't use any longer because of spam overflow.
All the best, Wolfgang

Re: [ql-users] Justify a loose item

Hi Wolfgang,
I can't reproduce that error. No error with the following lines:
number=mcall(#3)
pval#3,erg%
select on number
=-1: rem or =number
  mwindow#3,-1 :rem or number
  paper#3,5:cls#3:print#3,"X" :rem cyan background
= .
end select
My first loose item (-1) is replaced with 'X'.
My version of ptrmenr_cde is 3.50.
By the way, did you receive my zip-file I promised you in Eindhoven?

Afaik there is no problem as long as you just call it by MCALL, like in:
key=mcall(#ch%)
select on key
 =-1:any procedure or command
end select
but if you try to MWINDOW it, EasyPtr gives an error.
I have not experienced your 'sometimes yes/sometimes no'-problem
