I was wrong, SUB doesn't work at all on my QL
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
