mounting disk image on macbook for pcbasic15.08

how do I get access to files on the desktop?

Hi, I assume you use OS X given that you mention macbook in the title.
The desktop location on OS X would be ~/Desktop. So you could go one of the following two methods:

Method 1: configuration file

Edit the configuration file located at
~/Library/Application Support/pcbasic/PCBASIC.INI
under the heading [pcbasic], add a line as follows:
mount=D:~/Desktop

Method 2: command-line option

Run from the command line as follows:
pcbasic --mount=D:~/Desktop

Using either method, your desktop is now accessible as drive D: in PC-BASIC and you can see them with the BASIC command
FILES "D:"
