That sounds very do-able. All you would have to do is list the file with
output redirected to the port. Under GNO/ME:
cat file >.ttyx
Under ORCA:
type file >.devx (Use "devices" to find the .dev number for the)
(port)
If you don't use a shell, I think you're out of luck. It's just one of those things that;s really easy from a shell that's not without one...
I suppose you could always try something along the lines of...
10 print chr$(4);"open file"
20 print chr$(4);"read file"
30 get a$
40 print chr$(4);"pr#x"
50 print a$;
60 goto 20
Add an ONERR for the end of file (15 onerr goto 70 // 70 print chr$(4);"close")
and it works (but very, very slowly)
