The Library is *supposed* to contain bits of code to be called from within programs, not additional command line commands. It happens to be working perfectly. :)  There is a special name for commands that you call from the command line. They are called "programs". ;)


That is not quite my understanding of the Library.  I quote from Geoff's original manual, topic 'The Library';
"However, the saved subroutines and functions can be called from within the main program and can even be run at the command prompt (just like a built in command or function)"
I certainly regard the Library as a most effective and ingenious way of adding commands and functions to a customised version of the language. I frequently use such commands from a command line.


If you want to run library commands such as CONST or OPTION ESCAPE, type RUN at a command prompt, even if there's no program in main memory. You will then be able to use those constants and call the SUBs. If you type NEW then all links are off until the next RUN. At least that seems to be the way it works for me.
