    i would like to print to a file instead of printer. would this work
    "set lpt1=file:output.txt\c:\users\gbm\documents"
    i don't know where to make this change---first line of a saved program?
    step by step, please.
    using win7 pro 64bit . love basic

    sorry bob, but when i click the shortcut it opens in pc basic 15.08.11. it works fine & i use it.
    i guess i'll have to install pcbasic 2.0.
    should i uninstall 15.08 first.

    no idea how to get to config files.
    in my c;\ the "pcbasic --preset=tandy --ctrl-c-break " is not recognized

    my basic programs work fine-i just can't print a list of the code. when i enter llist it comes back with an ok
    then when i enter system it prints a blank with pcbasic_print on top.
    on occasion i will get a listing? 1 in 7 or 8 trys
    perhaps ver 2.0 will work better. should i uninstall 15.08 first

    i appreciate your work and i won't be cross if you just write me off as a nut.
