<> We have one pending submission from HAOUI for WMAN that actually fully implements the WM.INDEX call. I'm of two hearts on this one, on one hand I'm really grateful that somebody other than Wolfgang or me submits code for the PE, on the other hand there is currently no use case for it. Especially...

pjw your latest code samples and very useful associated notes look very interesting. When I find the time I will be cheekily converting your (much easier to read now you have added some : and REMs) code, into the form I like for compiling. Right now I was fascinated to see how the slaves, all worki...

Thanks Dilwyn I knew I didnt have to try to fiddle it out myself; just wait patiently and youd write it up! Super!

So heres another circus trick. Five slaves writing to their master's channel simultaneously: 100 JOB_NAME 'Master' 110 ch = FOPEN("con"): rem All slaves will write here 120 PAPER#ch; 7: CLS#ch 130 : 140 FOR n% = 1 TO 5: rem 5 slaves is enough 150 cl$ = n% & HEX$(CHANID(#ch), 32): rem C...

I downloaded pjw's Test.zip code and unziped it to ram1 in SMSQ/E. After a bit of faffing around I manged to EX (as interpret, I think) the two _bas programs successfully. I can sort of see what is going on but I do not use the SMSQ/E interpreter so the programs are not in a form I am familiar with...

Wow! What a massive update! What a lot of work has gone into that! You, MK & WL, deserve a Lamborghini each for that! Sadly, I dont have any to hand right now, so I hope a round of applause will suffice. (A poor consolation, I know, but well meant!)
(Who is JM, BTW?)
<still clapping>..

<> Does via a toolkit mean via a Knoware toolkit. If so which might it be ? If not, can a general purpose toolkit be written? The toolkit in question was included with the example I gave above, Test.zip. It is a kind of PRINT command, except it can take a real channel ID. The other command, CHANID ...

PS: You can see the PrtSc key of your laptop on your photo, above. Just to the right of the middle of the image.

The sound job uses the keyword WAIT because PAUSE opens a channel by default thus damaging the display. Thats what SMSQ/E's inbuilt keyword SUSJB is for I don't really know how to send the WAIT code on this forum. The code I have attached were .rts or .cde files. When I tried to attach the files I ...

Overheard, conversation between two Brexiters: #1:
Theres just too many foreigners in this country! #2: Agreed! And why do we need a Foreign Secretary, when so many English girls can type!
