Message-ID: <210@dalcsug.UUCP> Date: Tue, 1-Dec-87 12:48:04 EST Article-I.D.: dalcsug.210 Posted: Tue Dec 1 12:48:04 1987 Date-Received: Fri, 4-Dec-87 02:48:38 EST References: <8711291318.aa15019@SMOKE.BRL.ARPA> Organization: Dalhousie University, Halifax, N.S., Canada Lines: 21 A friend wrote a FORTH under ProDOS 8 and hooked up most of the MLI functions. However, one thing I have with all the other applications I use, is a way to Quit, back to whatever program launched it (I use Mousedesk by the now defunct VersionSoft). The ProDOS tech ref man (the version I have came with ProDOS 1.0) doesn't mention anything about this- in fact, it says that you have to write code that asks the user what application they want to quit to- this is rediculous because it's obvious that AppleWriter, Works, Access //, Ascii Express, AppleSloth (the new version) all do this automatically. How is this managed? Who remembers the calling program's directory and system file name? What's the MLI call if it is one, or how's it done otherwise? Thanks a lot, guys! -- +---------+ Dalhousie University | _ | From the Halifax, Nova Scotia | (_)===| Disk of ... Canada | | Daniel mackay@dalcs.UUCP +---------+ ...{utai,uunet}!dalcs!dalcsug!mackay
