PRO/FILE TO MSCRIPT

When you don’t know any better, anything might be possible, Operating on that theory I said, “Why not?”.

I loaded version 5 of Jack Doheny’s Mscript and then stuck a tape in my recorder that contained a file saved by the cartridge version of Tom Wood’s PRO/FILE. Using the BASIC operating system menus to 5: LOAD/SAVE, then 4: LOAD NEW TEXT, and giving the PRO/FILE filename when prompted by MSCRIPT for FILENAME, I attempted to load the PRO/FILE file into MSCRIPT. Imagine my surprise when it appeared to actually load into the computer! A quick trip to MSCRIPT showed that the file was indeed there. The only problem with it was in the control codes used by PRO/FILE. A simple modification solved the problem.
