Will try the DEV toolkit
That worked a treat with dev_use 1,win2_psion_quill_ and dev_usen mdv (so I can access flp devices still as flp as I see no scenario where I'd save files to real mdv)

Hi,

I think you need to read the SUB manual again.

Lets say I store Quill docs in: WIN1_data_docs_quill_

Load up SUB_REXT and configure:

SUB_DRV WIN1
SUB_USE 1,DATA_DOCS_QUILL

The SUB device can be renamed with the SUB_USE command:

SUB_USE FLP

DIR FLP1_ dives the listing of the Quill subdirectory.

The SUB device conforms to the maximum QDOS file length.

The subdirectory string in the SUB_USE command does not need to be a Hard or Level 2 Directory. Which differs from DEV IN SMSQ/E
