Re: Input weirdo...
The Advanced Pick manual illustrates most all of the SYSTEM() references. It's one of my favorite manuals as it's chapterized like all the others but the index is pure as it contains everything. I don't like the UD/UV manuals as you need to know which index in which book to look up your topic. If you're looking up U50BB, is it in the ECL book, the UniProc book or the UniBasic book?. Not that helpful. Please no flames about books on CD's. Not always helpful either. my 1 cent. - Original Message - From: Dennis Bartlett [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'U2 Users Discussion List' [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 29, 2004 8:10 AM Subject: RE: Input weirdo...

Re: Input weirdo...
Also, in place of the INPUT OPT.OUT,1 read to drain, you could use INPUTCLEAR to do the same thing without actually reading anything.
