Sanyaade, your advice made me feel that I should start drawing up contracts and such like. It all started to feel very Thu, 16 May 2013 14:23:15 GMT Vincent Voois http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xbasic/message/21017 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xbasic/message/21017 Im not sure what kind of answer you would expect, but i think this only means that the state is whether it could execute the shell at all or not. It does not Thu, 16 May 2013 12:07:55 GMT Kerry Miller http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xbasic/message/21016 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xbasic/message/21016 Hi Group, Just when I think I understand something I run into something that throws me a curve. Attached is a discription of what I want to do and what the Thu, 16 May 2013 03:58:50 GMT Kerry Miller http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xbasic/message/21015 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xbasic/message/21015 Hi Group, #radio.rcPath = "$HOME/CivMemory.rc" cmd$ = "ls " + #radio.rcPath + ">$HOME/xbls.txt integer = SHELL (cmd$) The integer supposed to be if SHELL () Wed, 15 May 2013 17:37:29 GMT Kerry Miller http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xbasic/message/21014 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xbasic/message/21014 Hi Group, Still befuddled, The attached file is the error information I am getting. -- Kerry N0WIQ My web site URL is: http://mywebpages.comcast.net/n0wiq Tue, 14 May 2013 20:12:02 GMT Kerry Miller http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xbasic/message/21013 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xbasic/message/21013 Hi Group, Finally, something that makes sense.

Gladly there is a workaround, but the #shared values should always be a globally available / configurable.

So you mean you can do program development here and keep it closed? You would need to make some kind of contract Tue, 14 May 2013 17:15:52 GMT k98p3 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xbasic/message/21010 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xbasic/message/21010 This may be the intent but it does not work in the present case. Take the following program (I have simplified things for demo purposes): TYPE RADIO STRING*20 Tue, 14 May 2013 15:25:29 GMT Vincent Voois http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xbasic/message/21009 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xbasic/message/21009 If #radio is defined in the PROLOG, it is adressable from every function without declaration.

That is, set addr = &#radio.write[0] then use addr instead.
