Under V1.2 it works fine. >(He said, crossing his fingers. I use it, occasionally, anyway) Ummm...are you sure this works for EXECUTE? The string I zapped was :T/Commandsomethingorother, not T:. But, of course, there could be code to use T: if it was defined. I don't remember running across this feature in the enhancer manuals. All I can find is reference to EDIT, which will produce a T: if it doesn't exist (god knows how they do that... I assume they mean :T!). >To speed up scripts still further, you can also reassign >the s: directory there (after making the ram:s directory, and >moving whatever scripts you need there) True enough, but copying files you plan to keep and modify back and forth from RAM disk is a pain. The temporary file fix is operationally very simple, and it really is where such a file belongs. If the system crashes, I won't miss that temporary file. In fact, I only want it for a few seconds at most - good use for a ram disk. While we're talking about the Enhancer documents (well, I did mention them up above, there), I found the updates to the RKM very sparse on good information. All that was in there were hints, and then, suggestions to go consult some machine readable documentation I never got. How come? Can we get some of this stuff here? I'd like to know about romtags in ram. Also CopyMem(). I'd also like to know about fine-tuning my disk drive step rate. The parameters mentioned aren't in my 1.1 LC header files (not surprisingly, I suppose). How do we go about getting 1.2 header files? Michael
