mhmm I am not sure if this would be possible, though, unless Celtic III allows such things. My guess, though, is that if Celtic III has a command to detect if a program is in ASM or not, the shell could simply try running the program with Asm(. In some cases, this might work. I remember Galaxian could be ran from home screen with Asm(. ZTetris caused RAM clears, though.

Also, another thing I was wondering, I think the shell should save every setting, variable used like cursor position and stuff like that into an appvar or a big list that would optionally get archived before any attempt at running a program, and get as much RAM freed up before running it because some BASIC games will most likely require all the RAM or will cause variable conflicts with the shell the next time you run it.

that isn't possible for a BASIC program, but it will be able to do noshell ASM, when I get to that
also, I almost finished the folder system, so far so good :D just a little more code to add all the relevant non-system items to the main folder (faster then skipping all the system vars in the displaying process)
screenshot/zip soon

I'm not sure which suggestion that was aimed at, but it is possible to tell if a program is Asm or Basic using CelticIII.  :"BB6D"=det(14,"PROG",0,2 will be true if PROG is an assembly program, and false otherwise (since every Asm program starts with BB6D).

yeah that was my plan

EDIT2: oh yeah, I also forgot to mention, this new version supports scrolling :D

EDIT3: commented code: http://eeems.pastebin.com/f30513616 and http://eeems.pastebin.com/f76faea86
only has comments on new stuff (and some old stuff)

EDIT4: also I settled on a name :D

Great graphics! I'm really not the one for shells, Basic or otherwise, unless they are needed to run certain games, so I can't comment on the actual functionality, but everything looks very nice, clean, and professional.  The functionality also looks better than some of the shells i've tried over the years.

Hmm, I had forgotten to mention that I had just about fixed my folder errors when my calc was taken...so as soon as I get it back, hopefully I will be able to show that off

Nice, I hope you get it back soon

I noticed someone else on UTI is starting a shell, but idk if he's just planning to do the usual so called "basic shell" that does nothing along the lines of management or something like yours. People were quite hard on him on UTI, tho x.x, had I got an account there, still, I would be tempted to just invite him here so he can announce his project in peace :P

Is it me or has UTI gone increasingly hostile in the past year? There used to be a time where only like two members (including one staff) were occasionally rude and/or discouraging, but now more and more like Graphmastur seems to be and it seems to happen regulary. Still not at the level of how Cemetech used to be, but it seems to get closer. Oh well, at least at Omnimaga we do care about keeping our new members and unlike other sites, newbies are allowed to do mistakes and learn from them

Yeah, I hope I can get back to this soon too. Ice also notices that, and I did try to be nice to him, and to calm the others down so they would give him a chance
