Write your reply.

assistant: I agree. My point was to criticize the IF NOT LEN(k$)... idea, not the
GOTO structure. The following loop would suffer from the same problem:
k$ = ""
DO WHILE NOT LEN(k$)
   k$ = INKEY$
LOOP
This, too, will loop for ever, even after a key has been pressed, since
it contains the same (rather common) logical error. To fix it, the
second line must be re-written as DO WHILE k$ = "" , or something
similar.
Hmmm...
My inclination would be to write the INKEY loop as something like:
DO: k$ = UCASE$(INKEY$): LOOP UNTIL k$ >= "A" AND k$ <= "G"
Then simply PRINT k$
Wouldn't that be a whole lot simpler?!
And if I wanted to do other things, depending on which key has been
pressed, I might write them as subroutines and call them with something
like:
ON ASC(k$) - 64 GOSUB First, Second ... and so on.
I know it's terribly un-trendy at present to use this kind of coding,
but it is so much easier than all this CASE stuff!

assistant: Brings back memories.  Remember there was a guy in Texas who
wrote a "compiler" for Benton Harbor Basic.  Generated pure
ASM which you then had to run through the ASM assembler.  It
worked, though it was primitive.  Whole thing ran under HDOS,
of course.
Because of the Y2K problem?
Denver gets the 720 area code overlaying its 303 sometime this
summer.  Trouble with MSDOS Basics is the memory limitation work
arounds.  I still think that programming in something like QB or PDS is
"easier" than in VB, but I can't avoid VB.

assistant: Output the following string to the modem:
ATDT <number><carriage return>
Note that the letters *must* be in uppercase. (That shouldn't be a
problem for you!) The second "T" stands for "tone", and makes the modem
use "touch-tone" dialling. If you want to use old-fashioned pulse
dialling instead, change that second "T" to a "P".

assistant: Fear not! I have never tried sending an encrypted file over Fidonet. I
have tried sending them as "attached" files associated with Internet
e-mails, which is supposed to work with any kind of file. Sometimes it
does, sometimes not. The files are coded by something like UUENCODE
before transmission, so no CHR$(26)es, etc., are actually sent over the
net. However, the system that does the UUENCODEing does not always, I
suspect, work perfectly.

   But menus don't usually use sequential characters.
   You might have something like this:
[F] Format a disk
[C] Change directory
[D] Change drive
[L] List files
[Q] Quit to previous menu
   Now you've got to check for specific characters and they
   are not in sequence.
   You might also do something like this:
WHILE INKEY$ > "": WEND
DO
   K$ = UCASE$(INKEY$)
   SELECT CASE K$
      CASE "F", "C", "D", "L", "Q": EXIT DO
   END SELECT
LOOP
   This last method is actually much easier to read and
   understand. Both its method and its purpose are immediately
   clear at a glance.

   Having run into the default text file open mode once or

In reality, the code for any major or complex application can reach a point
where the original programmer gets burned out trying to keep track of
everything it does.  If I didn't have all the assets in QuickBasic and had to
paper fix many of my programs, I'd be in deep trouble.
