How do I start a .bas file from a .bas file?

Post by Dompie »

I want to start a next .bas file from a .bas file but I can't find how. I thought I saw it on the forum but I can't find anything there, just like the old site (menu system) and I can't find a solution in the Help either. Is it not possible or have I been looking with my nose (Dutch saying). Who can help me?

There are a number of ways to achieve what you want

1. the simple way is to get into the editor and select "Save As" rename the file in File Name then Press the Red Save button - this will give an exact copy of the first file but with a different name. This new name will be the one you are now editing - make any changes and then press the red "Save" button. Voila New file.

2. If you have a copy on your computer that you want to load Select "File Manager" at the top in the orange colour then select the correct directory that you want it to load into eg Development by double clicking on the subdirectory. When you are in the desired subdirectory go to the Blue " Files Upload" and press "Choose Files" then find the computer file that you want and select it then press the Green "Upload button" and the Annex screen will tell you that it loaded and how many bytes it now occupies in your RAM or SD Card. File Manager allows you to save files to your computer, to create new folders in your RAM or SD Card and rename files that you already have in memory.

I hope that helps

PS.

Make sure that you have the .bas if you want to run it, .mp3 if you want play it, .jpg or .bmp if you want to show it and .bin if you have a font file
