Can't find basic programs

[Kent Graham]

Please excuse - I'm old (82) and trying to learn so possibly a stupid question.

Issue: PC-BASIC 2.0 unable to find my basic programs.

Background. Running Win 10 on a Surface. PC-BASIC loaded into C;\Program Files (x86)\PC-BASIC 2.0. Loaded my basic programs into C:\Users\Kent as I understood to do from the documentation.

Would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks, Kent

You can use the FILES command to get a list of files in the current directory - that may help you find out which directory is used as the current directory in PC-BASIC. This should be the "Start in" directory of the shortcut used to start PC-BASIC, though I'm not sure how exactly that works in Windows 10 (sorry, I don't really use Windows anymore).

Thanks, Rob - in Windows 10 PC Basic (on my Surface) looks for the basic programs in the Documents folder. Just determined this tonight. Works great! Will post. Thanks, Kent
