I think I actually used the copy command: copy con: nate.bas for version 1

First language was Fortran IV in college loaded via punch cards on the U of H computer. Lots of fun. We could have the mainframe mostly to ourselves at night because I lived on campus and could take the basement halls from the dorms to the lab in any weather. TRS80 and BASIC CPM and later MPM machine and CBASIC (an interpreter) MS DOS machines and CBASIC (Compiler version) Tried Forth, Pascal, assembler, C Still use CBASIC compiler version and Visual Basic for business aps. Most interesting project was a text editor I wrote WTTHOUT using a text editor to enter the code. echo dim a$(10)>nate.bas echo for j% = 1 to 10>>nate.bas echo input "enter a line";line a$(j%)>>nate.bas echo next j%>>nate.bas I then compiled nate.bas (Not Another #$!% Text Editor!) to get the next version of the editor. The result was a somewhat limited, but full screen text editor I still use today.
