Hello, I have been a long time user of PC-Basic, and recently I have tried to use an open statement with a record #4, and I have been getting the error message saying its out of range.
A fair while ago, I posted an item (not under this user name), and learned about the PCBASIC.INI file, and how I can adjust the setting in that to go above the default of 3.
I have checked this fle, and it is still set at 5 as I had done back then.
max-files=5
What have I done wrong, and what should I do?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Thank you for your advice, and it has now been fixed.
It had always worked, but, now I know why it stopped. I had downloaded an updated version of pcbasic recently of which must have updated that file too.

You need to remove the comment sign
#at the front of the line, which deactivates it. I.e. it should look like this:max-files=5Thank you for your advice, and it has now been fixed.
