        Probably, Do you have JiffyDOS? You could try that.
        If you dont know DOS, you dont know Windows...

        Thats why Bill Gates created the Windows NT Family.

               ::)  I know how....  its load"*",8,1 then it loads.  I want to see the names of programs that it cant open, not the code.

                Ok, i read that the C64 has no sort of Directory command, the closest thing to it was LOAD "$",8,1

                But it says on Wikipedia that that command just shows random garbage.

                So basically in C64 Basic, you can't see the entire directory of the drive, unless you use another OS like GEOS or JiffyDos.

                  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.
