Msg: Re: VAriables on the command line.

Another question, regarding this pseudo code plus commentary:

If the filename includes an extension (dot something)...
{240}".">;*;
... lop it off:
>;*;

I understand that {240} means "contains." But not what does. I even understand that VA@01 contains the text in sg01. Why does ".1" do the lopping off? Or does it?

Carl, you are holding a programming clinic here, so I don't feel too bad asking beginner's questions . . .

It all works as designed, including the blink-of-an-eye Wally Bass derived decode. Question: why the commas B,X . . . Q,2 executing the tyf/nv portion? A requirement of XM (which also reads x,m,)? For the n'th time, thanks Carl.
