Which I know I would do - endlessly.

The nearest I've got is to intercept vector 5 and if you double click
a Basic file it will set the variable and you're good to go. But, if
you drop into Basic and then load the basic program then no-go.

Unfortunately I do a lot of work in Basic because when something goes
wrong you get more info like a line number and you can do tests, just
running the code is okay if it all works.

I'm concluding this can't be done.

Thanks everyone for trying to help me.

Bob.
