On my AmigaBasic V1.1 disk, there is a "library" program in basicdemos. I wanted to try to invoke the commented-out "DosLibDemo", which is claimed to work only under CLI not Workbench. Does this mean, run AmigaBasic as a command from CLI then open the "library" program as normal? If I do this I get an error from the statement LIBRARY "graphics.library" saying "File not found". I believe it too, because I searched every directory on workbench: and extras: and couldn't find such a file. There *is* a graphics.bmap in extras:basicdemos; is this it?? According to Appendix F this just provides a map. So, my questions are 1) what do I do to invoke the DosLibDemo in the Library program? 2) where is graphics.library? 3) what, and why, is the difference between double-clicking an icon vs. typing a file-name to CLI, such that the graphics library is misplaced?

Among otherthings if you run from CLI you have access to stdin and stdout (the CLI window is open) that you do not have under workbench. Hope this helps. --Bruce Barrett
