well...imagine that I'm an amateur in basic code... that I have some basic files with useful things and want to put them together and not writting down again... is there any "copy" and "paste" funtion?? :S
Don't blame me!

load the listing
then type
SAVE "LISTING.BAS",A
the listing is now saved as a normal ASCII textfile, which you can open in any text-editor, like MS-DOS EDIT or Notepad.

the point is that I dont wan't to use windows...
An example: if I have a progam called "code" and I have another one called "graphics" and I want to put them together... I think it is impossible, because If I load "graphics" the other one would be deleted!! or don't??

No, if both files are saved in ASCII mode and if they use different line numbers, you can load the first file, then use the command MERGE"filename" to load the second file that will be "added" to the first file in the memory of the MSX
Use RENUM to change the line numbers of the second file first !!!!

that means that from basic, if my "code" file that I have previously renumbered to 1000,2000,3000... I made: merge"graphics" (that have 1010,1020...) will work out???

you can always give any existing line a new line number to copy it. so basic does have some kind of copy/paste feature. it's just done by giving it a new line number... do be careful not to use an existing line number since it'll overwrite it without question.

But afaik you have to save it as "filename",a for the merge command to work, like snout said.
