mainwin questions

[hal9k]

Hi again,

2 questions:

1. When I run this program, I get the message "Runtime Error: "isEmpty" not understood".

It seems to happen on the print statement.

[Start]
gosub [FilesAndFolders]
print myDir$
goto [End]

[FilesAndFolders] 'define folders and files
myDir$ = LEFT$(DefaultDir$, LEN(DefaultDir$) - 9)
RETURN

[End]
close #main
end

2.  When the program runs, the mainwin is tiny and must be expanded to read the contents.  How do I make it start out larger?

As always, thanks so much for all of your help!

I forgot to remove the close #main statement that I tried in vain to get this to work. Please ignore it.

If I comment out the print line, I don't get the error.

>>the mainwin is tiny
There is a mainwin size in options dialog, look for options or setup or preferences in the menu

Thanks, I looked there before but didn't notice it. Now if I can just figure out why the print command causes an error.

Appreciate the help!

Problem solved! The main window size was set to 0, -1. Now that it is set to larger values the print executes without throwing an error.

Thanks again for all the help I get here.

Glad you solved it
(>>The main window size was set to 0, -1
one would never guess )

Just for a record, I tried it on LB 4.51, LB 4.04 and JB 2.0
Program works without errors.
[Start]
gosub [FilesAndFolders]
print myDir$
goto [End]

[FilesAndFolders] 'define folders and files
myDir$ = LEFT$(DefaultDir$, LEN(DefaultDir$) - 9)
RETURN

[End]
'close #main
end
