like i said in the .cas thread, i found Unix on martins site, and it has funny symbols for things in both Cedit and Xchange, and i was wondering what this might mean...

\h\F\F\F\F

\th i think means theta. maybe?

both commands were in Xchange, in Cedit, they had funny symbols not on the keyboard.

also it has lowercase letters for typing somethings, how do i do them?

[CrimsonCasio]

could you post a section of the code?

[Bob Vila]

Locate 15, Y, List Ans[3] and \h\F\F\F\F:Y < 7 => Isz Y

[Bob Vila]

i figured out that they are tokens or something like that, and \h is hexadecimal and the \F's are hexadecimal numbers. but, i can't figure out how to write these files can somebody help me???

Open the original file with cedit. You will see exactly what characters are there. Be sure to run cedit in full screen mode if you use M$ Windouz

thanks Martin, now it looks normal and i dont have to guess at things, but how do i switch to hexadecimal in the middle of the program? i can't find the commands for the h and the F.

You can use equivalent number in DEC. I used HEX numbers to save byte. There is one trick how to edit standard program in hex mode. I am not sure I am exact, but it has something to do with 1->X:Dsz X at the end of program:
have file 1 in NBASE mode, which contains:
1->X:Dsz X
and have file2 in COMP , which is just under file1 in program list. This file contains 1 correct command and syntax error (any)
A->A:A1A
Run file 1
the calc continues to execute file2 (it jumps over the EOF of file1), but in NBASE mode
it shows you error - edit the file, type here all NBASE commands that exist.
exit the editor and enter back here - now you are in COMP mode,but you can use all NBASE commands (use clipboard - function memory)

if it will not work, try to change file1 to
1->X:Dsz X:'

i figured out something, i don't know if it works the same though, could somebody tell me?

go to run mode, in hexadecimal mode, type the four F's and asign it to a variable, and then in regular mode, assign the variable to a matrix, and load the matrtix in the program and asign it to a variable and use it to replace the four F's

it didnt seem to have any errors when i ran it.

okay, i think i finished typing it in, but i don't know any unix commands, could somebody tell me some?

[huhn_m]

try it with "ls" but be aware that this is a BASIC program!
Don't expect too much functionality. it won't be pretty different from what I've seen as windows
remakes. They do nearly nothing (I don't wont to say nothing at all)

[Bob Vila]

okay, i typed it in and it did this

PATH:
/
00000000     1

what is that suppost to mean? are there any other things this program can do?

[huhn_m]

it is the same like the dir command on a dos system listing the directorys contents.

try some other things:

help (? don't know if it works!)
man (manual pages)
df (Free diskspace)
ps (list processes)
mkdir (make directory)
cd (change directory)

etc...

[Bob Vila]

none of those commands worked, maybe i typed something in wrong and i'm not in the mood for searching for glitches in a 17 program program.

[huhn_m]

as I already said this has NOTHING in common with a real OS. It is simply like a game.
I can't imagine that it cas a filesystem or can interprete commands correctly.

that sucks.
