Can someone post an article explaining how to add commands to Basic.System, if it can explained in that much space? Failing that, can you reccommend a good reference work on ProDOS that explains how? P.S. Has anyone written a finder-type program for the IIc and IIe that uses mousetext on the text screen insead of graphics? -- Doug Reeder USENET: ...!tektronix!reed!douglas 10 Cyclopedia Square from BITNET: douglas@reed.UUCP Terminus City from ARPA: !tektronix!reed!douglas@Berkley Terminus,The Foundation Box 502 Reed College,Portland,OR 97202

Doug Reeder> how do you add commands to basic.system..... A reasonable starter book on ProDos is "The Prodos Handbook" by Timothy and Karen Rice from <Sybex> LCC# 85-50465 ISBN 0-89588-230-2 If you mean to get basic.system to do another application, then rewrite the "startup" file in basic. From there you control except $2000 =============== The only difference between professional magic and professional programming is that magic takes a little longer to learn! ====== -------

It's sort of a long process, especially if you want to make it relocateable so that it will install correctly even if there are other commands installed. _Beneath Apple ProDOS_ (by Don Worth, Quality Software) tells how to do it, and even gives a sample command. NIBBLE Magazine is also a good source for this type of information. THe June 1985 issue has a program that installs an external command, and the January 1985 issue goes through the process of writing and installing the command (Jan 85 Disassemly Lines). -- __ Mike Jetzer "If you can't be right, be forceful" uwvax!uwmcsd1!marque!studsys!jetzer
