All you would have to do is list the file with output redirected to the port.

It's just one of those things that;s really easy from a shell that's not without one... I suppose you could always try something along the lines of... 10 print chr$(4);"open file" 20 print chr$(4);"read file" 30 get a$ 40 print chr$(4);"pr#x" 50 print a$; 60 goto 20 Add an ONERR for the end of file (15 onerr goto 70 // 70 print chr$(4);"close") and it works (but very, very slowly) ______________________________________________________________________ |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| | Phillip Vandry | Vandry@Cam.Org | Merry Christmas II you! | |________________|________________|____________________________________| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Need a new line for my sig now that christmas is over...
