Well, I'm new to this list, but I'm thoroughly enjoying it already. I've just started a users group and am working on putting together a "group" system disk full of public domain utilities. My problem is finding a program selector that does everything a program selector should be. In a sense, I'm praying to the Programming god's for help. It should work on all Apple ][s, be able to run system, binary, and basic files. It should be returned to on Quit-Calls AND if at all possible. . . it would be really great if it could pass loading parms to programs to load the necessary data files. (Such as a text editor automatically loading the proper file to be edited.) Essentially, I'm looking for a public domain ProSEL!!! I've already tried APEX and it does not do BASIC files. 'Tried Super-Launcher and that does not allow me to predefine "buttons" for loading. (Oh yeah, that's another qualification. . . I can find programs to launch, but not onces that allow me to predefine names for the files!) Of course, there are shells, but they aren't really what I want either. I could write my own BASIC routine, but that does not allow me to return to the program after Quitting. . . unless someone has a way to do that. . . that is a possibility. If anyone has any good suggestions, please let me know. Thanks quite muchly! :-) William K. Fry wkf2298@ritvax
