This is a real pain!!! Actually, all you have to do is prepend your program with a PRINT CHR$(4);"BLOAD" before compiling. It IS annoying, though, because: 1) you have to compile a (slightly) different version of your program than the one you tested 2) you have to copy the file to any disk you want to run your compiled program off of. Actually, I think I am going to take a crack at designing a Nice operating system for apple over the next few weeks/months. You know, every time you want to run a new program just about, you reboot the system, which is silly, and every program has its own data format, which is silly (& incompatible), etc.
