Hi Jbizzel!

Code: Select all

100 base1=RESPR(xxxxx) : LBYTES FLP1_PTR_GEN,base1 : CALL base1
110 base2=RESPR(yyyyy) : LBYTES FLP1_WMAN,base2 : CALL base2
120 base3=RESPR(zzzzz) : LBYTES FLP1_HOT_REXT,base3 : CALL base3

110 LRESPR FLP1_PTR_GEN
120 LRESPR FLP1_WMAN
130 LRESPR FLP1_HOT_REXT

Is there a reason why you appear to be loading and executing each extension twice?

With TK2 loaded/activated, you only need the second set of lines in your boot file, not both.

Perhaps you simply mistyped that code snippet in to the post and you are only running one of the two (mutually exclusive) sets of commands...

Yes, there is: I don't know what I'm doing.

I thought that was perhaps what was going on!

This link is pretty helpful to understand a bit more about these toolkits

Hi,

I read the link to the oldmachinery blogspot, I think he has got a few things wrong.

He does not read the Online Superbasic Manual for some reason, which describes all the Superbasic and SBASIC commands and toolkits.

The point the ALTKEY does not work in QED is nonesense, I use this all the time.
