Pete's QBASIC Site

In QBmidi,I read the following advice:


start your BASIC editor. If you're using
QuickBasic, VB-DOS or PDS, you'll need to load the IDE with the '/L'
switch:

QB /L 'For QuickBasic users


What does it mean?
Thanks to translate in ordinary words...By the way does it exit a "basic" dictionnary?

It means when you run QB from the DOS command prompt, you navigate to the directory where QB.exe is and then type:

QB /L

to run QB instead of just typing QB or QB.exe, or clicking on an icon on your computer if you're running it in Windows.
