Hello All,
I have no prior experience with basic at all, other than the newer technologies like vb.NET and so on. I am presented with a project that is written in Advanced BASIC-86 Version 3.30.0JS. In the DOS based interpreter I can load the .BAS file fine, but when I make modifications to the code they will not save when I run it. Even if I save the instance of the file that I?m working on as a new file it will not save the changes and resort back to the original file. Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you in advance!

I think E.K. nailed it...the .bas file is probably read only.
1. go to Windows File Explorer.
2. go to the folder where your bas file is.
3. right click on the .bas file and select the properties option.
4. you should see the "read only" attribute checkbox and it is probably checked. just uncheck it and clock ok.
And you should be good to go.

Hey Guys,
Thanks for your responses, but the file permissions are not the issue. I just checked them out. I even resorted to tying to use the original Toshiba T1200 DOS machine, because I thought that I may be a DOS version issue. But no luck! I think that I am missing a step along the way so that my changes will be taken into effect. If any more ideas at all come up please do not hesitate to post! Thanks again!
