I KNOW HOW TO GET MY MODEM TO DIAL FROM THE DOS PROMPT AND HOW TO GET IT TO 
DIAL  FROM MY TERMINAL BBS /MODEM SOFTWARE BUT WHAT I NEED TO KNOW IS HOW  TO
WRITE SOMETHING IN QBASIC THAT I CAN USE IN A PROGRAM TO MAKE MY MODEM DIAL
I'M TRWING TO WRITE A PROGRAM THAT ASKS FOR THE NUMBER TO DIAL  AND THEN WILL
DIAL THE NUMBER THAT YOU INPUT AND I NEED IT IN TXT(.BAS) FORMAT  SO THAT ALL
I HAVE TO DO IS TYPE  PUT IT INTO THE PROGRAM I'M WRITEING AND THEN RUN IT 
ND
IT'LL ASK FOR NUMBER TO DIAL AND THEN DIAL THAT NUMBER,THAT WAY I COOULD 
INCLUDE A DIALING FUNCTION /ROUTIENE IN MY SOURCE. I'VE LOOKED LITTERALY 
EVERY WHARE THE LIBRARY THRU MY BOOKS HERE ON DIFFERENT BBS'S I'VE READ TYPED 
AND REREAD THE HELP FILES EXAMPLES AND ALL IVE BEEN ABLE TO DO IS OPEN COM1 
FOR RANDOM AS #1 AND GET THE SEND AND RECIEVE LIGHTS ON MY MODEM TO GO ON BUT 
I
HAVENT BEEN ABLE TO GET THE (OH) OPEN PHONE LINE  LITE TO COME ON WITH ANY OF 
THEM  AND AS OF YET I AIN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET IT TO DIAL ,I HAVE A PROGRAM 
.BAS SOURCE THAT IS A DUMB TERM PROGRAM BUT IT HAS NO FILTERING AND DOSENT 
DIAL IT
WOULD PROBABLY WORK QUITE WELL IF I WE'RE CONNECTING 2 PC'S VIA SERIAL CABEL
BUT I'M NOT , THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME MAYBE NOW THAT I'VE EXPLAINED MORE 
YOU'LL BE ABLE TO FIND FOR ME WHAT I'M LOOKKING FOR I'LL CHECK BACK LATTER 
THIS WKEND TOMORROW IS A BUSY DAY FOR ME (SICK) RELITIVE IN THE HOSPITAL 
GOING FOR SURGERY SO AFTER TONIGHT I'M GONNA BE A BIT BUSY AND PROBABLY WON'T 
BE BACK ON TILL SUNDAY EVENING
THANK"S AGAIN
