Michael Rittweger Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Hi, ralphb! I'm not quite sure, but... Those OPEN and INPUT comands are allowed only while running a program, not directly on the prompt. Line numbers... Michael 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+mizapf Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Try it in Extended BASIC. INPUT is only allowed in a program, while ACCEPT is also usable as a command. However, you cannot ACCEPT from a file. Ever tried to launch a sprite in command mode? CALL SPRITE(#1,42,16,10,10,10,10) :: ACCEPT A$ and press FCTN-4 (CLEAR). 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LINPUT is what I always use as INPUT crashes more often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Incorrect you can do OPEN and CLOSE from Command Edit mode as I do it all the time >OPEN #1:"DSK1.BATCH",INPUT >CLOSE #1 INPUT and LINPUT need a line number only due to in Command Edit mode used same buffer so crashed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
