Posts: 644 		How do you in BASIC open a text file so it displays in a text editor?

I want to improve my lottery checker programe so that some one only needs to hit he edit button and the number file loads into a text editor.

Thanks.

SYS "Wimp_StartTask","Run "+file$

This ensures that the text editor is started as a seperate task, so your program keeps running.
