[Coco] WHAT MANNER OF UNHOLY WIZARDRY IS THIS?

[Bill Pierce]

Art,
in 30 years of Cocoing, that is the very first I've ever heard of doing that. I guess since the manual says to do it last, I always did it last. I never even mistakingly put the drive first. I do remember the MS basic would let you get away with murdering it's syntax anyway, so it doesn't suprise me.

Bill, putting the drive number before rather than after the filename has
lways been a legal alternate syntax in Disk Basic.

 Niether can RSDOS and never has as far as I know... the correct syntax is:
 LOAD"FILENAME/EXT:n"

 Get the DSK image "ADV2" in this page.

 Now load the BASIC program called "#" and list it, don't run.
 It gets the address of the end of the BASIC program, subracts 6 and
 UMPS TO IT! And an INTERACTIVE DISK MENU POPS OUT OF NOWHERE!
 What is going on here?
 (Unrelatedly, it seems HDB-DOS can't LOAD or LOADM files with
 n:FILENAME.EXT" syntax. It gives me a ?FN ERROR.)
