Turbo46 said This was the SYSTEM command I used:

Quote SYSTEM "C:\Users\mckiw\Documents\Micros\DOS Basic\mmbasic.exe asssa.bas"
QUIT

It stopped at the space after 'dos' with an error (don't remember it exactly [...]

try the below, note the extra SINGLE quote marks:

Quote SYSTEM "'C:\Users\mckiw\Documents\Micros\DOS Basic\mmbasic.exe' asssa.bas"
QUIT

this (single quotes around just 'DOS Basic') should also work:

Quote SYSTEM "C:\Users\mckiw\Documents\Micros\'DOS Basic'\mmbasic.exe asssa.bas"
QUIT

cheers,
rob :-)

Thanks Rob, that may well work, although I don't know how. But I've moved on and removed the space in the path, put a copy of MMBasic.exe in the same folder as the BASIC files. My system command now is:

Quote SYSTEM "mmbasic.exe asssa.bas"
QUIT

Having done that, I think it was working without the long path to asssa.bas anyway. Probably because it was in the same folder from which the system command was issued.

Hi Jim,

In MMEdit 4, I was researching the #INCLUDE function and, while looking in the HELP file under 'Using MMEdit', I found a small typo. In the line near the bottom starting with:

Quote On devices with file systems, the file is uploaded as 'temp.bas'. If you hold ...

I think you may have mis-spelled 'Shift'.

Bill

I am surprised that the spell checker didn't find that!

Jim,

Not really an MMEdit problem but I was searching for 'Clipclean', but couldn't remember its name and couldn't find it on my PC. Finally found it on the 'Forum upgrade' post, and then armed with the name, I found it on my PC.

I for one have found it useful and I was thinking it would be easier to find if it was on your website.

Will do.
Glad you find it useful

Thank Jim,

I do, because sometimes I type a post in the word processor before copying into TBS.

I hope you fixed that typo too. When first read it I had just come in from cleaning up after my dog and the mental image was not good.

Bill

Keep safe. Live long and prosper.
