- This is actually the hardest part.... Actually, all you need to do, at the
- simplest level is to:
-
- open in 1,"*"
- open out 2,"*"
-
- And read/write from those channels. Any amos code/extensions you may have
- that read/write from the standard cli are good. Then get hold of ghizzo's
- GUI extension, and use the multitasking compiler to compile, and then plug
- your proggie into the doors menu, or whatever. For testing purposes, the
- program should 100% run in a cli window, if you have to, a raw: window.
