@Peter,

I am looking into a way to support the build in EDIT function in javavi's filemanager.
Let me explain.

The filemanager is running in a flash slot. It is coded in MMBasic.
I understand very well that LOAD "fn" and EDIT "fn" cannot be executed inside a MMBasic program since they essentially destroy the current program when in program memory.
RUN "fn" works, but it is basically a form of a cold reboot, re-initializing everything.

Questions:
LOAD "fn" should technically be no problem when executed from a flash slot. Since it loads the program in main program memory.

When running in a flash slot, why would EDIT "fn" be a problem. I understand you have to exit the flash slot program, since variable memory is freed up for the editor. So it would be similar to RUN "fn".

When looking at MM.CMDLIN$, I wondered why RUN "fn",chr$(3) would not work. I expected the program to run, and immediately stop with control C. Maybe I misunderstood the function of the option.


Long story short.. have not found a solution yet. Maybe I can find something by using a CSUB. Have to start studying...

Hello Peter,

when setting up "option lcdpanel ssd1963_7,l,,gp16,noreset" it works fine in 8-bit mode.
When retrieving the options by "option list" a ssd1963_5_16 is reported.

Same for "option lcdpanel ssd1963_7_16,l,,,noreset" where a ssd1963_5E_16 is reported.

Regards
Dietmar

@Peter,

You said you could provide a way to indicate the presence of a PS2 keyboard.
Is this some PEEK() ?

I think it could be usefull, since key presses cannot clearly distinguish between INKEY$ and MM.INFO(PS2). Sometimes one is earlier, sometimes the other when polled in a loop.

INKEY$ is active at PS2 and at console.
