    Location of PCBasic files
    « on: May 22, 2020, 09:56:42 AM »
    I downloaded PC Basic and saved a file, but can't find it. I read some info elsewhere about need to change a config file to tell it where to store files, but it's a little beyond my comprehension. Isn't there a folder where the files are saved?

      Knowing what sort of file (Extension) you downloaded would help, PDF for instance, in the mean time just go to the search bar and type in PC Basic for a start see what that turns up?

        It's the PC Basic program file, and I know what folder THAT is in, but the Basic file I created got saved in some mystery folder, not the same one. How do I find that file?

        Do a search using *. _____whatever the extension of the file names PCBasic uses...

          If want to find anything anywhere on my PC download and use (Free) "Everything" for me is the BEST program for finding,it has been invaluable for me when facing a similar dilemma such as you..if it is there it will find it.
