Re: Saving to USB drives from VDOS

Dear Carl
That works, thanks, in both WY and native forms. (It took me a few goes
to copy the syntax correctly!)
However, what I really want, and I should probably have explained this
more clearly in my first post, is to be able save the file that I
currently have on screen to the USB drive; ie it would be exactly the
same as commanding SA F:/ when working on a file in XY4 in WindowsXP to
save it to the USB drive F:. In fact I normally have this assigned to a
key so that all it requires is a single key press to save the current file.

Is that plausible?

Best wishes

Paul

If you don't want the command output echoed back into XyWrite, change
"WX" to "WY".

To pare this down to essentials, the native command would be:

dos/nv/x/z /c cmd.exe /c copy/y d:\path\myfile.txt k:\

Hope this helps.
