i dont want to see the directory, i want to know the name of the program. I'm well aware of what load"$",8 does. It just loads it shouldnt display anything. When you save a program you have the chance to name the disk know way around it that I know. The question is what it is. E.x. I have a game called mumpets adventure or something and I have to do a load"ma",8,1 ; notice the "" its indicating the program and saing to run that as expected.
