Gregg Riedel wrote the following in <4170@bingvaxu.cc.binghamton.edu>, when he was explaining how to prepare additional text listings of programs. However, it needs one small addition: > Type OPEN 5,8,4,"0:filename,s,w" > CMD5: LIST PRINT#5; > CLOSE5 The above can all be strung on a single line with colons. It is, in any case, a good idea to put at least CMD5 and LIST on the same line to avoid getting "ready." in the disk file an extra time at the beginning of the listing. I don't think that you can avoid the "ready." at the end by putting CMD5:LIST:PRINT#5; onto a single command line, though.
