I was thinking of how a Basic09 program using
temporary files in a multiprocess environment
could be sure not to overwrite another process
files.
For example if Program A was puting data in
/r0/out.temp and Program B was trying to do
the same thing problems.
One possible solution
Suppose Process A is running in /term and process
B is running in /w3 then if the process could
determine which window it was running in it could
add that info to the temporary file name,
ie.
Process A saves to /r0/out-term.temp and
Process B saves to /r0/out-w3.temp
No problem.
So I was wondering how could Process A figure out
that it was running in /term ect. ?
