Greetings --
I tried using suggestions in a couple of related issues, but had no luck. On my desktop computer (wired to printer) there was no .ini file to be found, and on the laptop, I found a file and enabled "lpt1=printer:" but still couldn't 'LLIST' I can't even figure out a 'workaround' (saving to a file) being trapped in this phantom Z directory! (Tried " SAVE "C:\file.bas" but not found. Is there a way to 'Save As'?)
Can anyone help?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
What does „couldn't LLIST“ mean exactly? Have you tried giving an explicit printer name in the options? For me the actual printing is triggered when I close PC-BASIC.
The Z: directory in PC-BASIC is the current working directory the program is started from/with. So if you start it from the command line, then you should navigate to where you want to load/save data from.
If all you want is converting a BAS file from tokenized form to a text file, there is the --convert option.

Thanks much, Mark, for the reply --
If I remember correctly, back in the day, you could enter "LLIST" while in the program and it would send a listing to the printer.
I'm pretty sure I tried your sugg. recently - (LLIST then exit) , but it still didn't print for some reason, although I just tried again, and it did print after exiting -- so thanks for that tip; I guess that's all I needed to know, although it would be nice to be able to 'LLIST'
from within the program.

This other 'Post' window just popped up -- I just clicked 'Cancel' but all it does is delete the text in the window!
