Taisez-vous, ne parlez plus de Jasen, le v'l…!

 DW>> 1ø) Is there any option or internal fonction to create tables?
 JB> no.

OKay..

 DW>> At this time, I use this way:
 JB> that looks like the best way... I hope you have a large environment.

10Ko at the startUp.. and 300Ko in a second level of 4DOS for the BATchs
using tables.. but only if I'm updating these BATchs (not using it.. only
in devlopment.. :-) )

 DW>> 2ø) For executable definition, the command is: `Set .tst=Edit`
 DW>> If I launch a `blurp[.tst]`, 4DOS will execute `Edit blurp` right?
 JB> actually `Edit D:\path\blurp.txt`

Yes, with the entire path, I forgot that..

 DW>> I tried `Set .ext=Edit %& something_else` but it didn't work..
 JB> use an alias. (you need the "call")
 JB> set .tst=CALL a_macro
 JB> alias a_macro `Edit %& something_else`

As I said to Klaus, this is so easy that I haven't see that.. :-)

Many thanx!
