When I try the syntax you suggest I get a compile error.


    OPEN #pathno,saveat$:WRITE

    PRINT #pathno,"TEST"

    FOR y=1 TO 19
        FOR x=1 TO 21
            PRINT #pathno," ";
            PRINT #pathno, USING "H", quilt(x,y);
        NEXT x
        PRINT #pathno

    NEXT y

    CLOSE #pathno

    Everything worked before I tryed to send it to a file.
    Also It works if except for the "PRINT USING" line.
    So it is not an issue with the pathno or saveat$ varibles.

    Which are of type BYTE and STRING.

    PS THE COMPILE  ERROR POINTER POINTS TO JUST BEFORE "USING"

    Charlie.
