I've never seen anything about the Akaso camera.

Hmmm, another thing to add to my huge ROUNDTUIT file of things to do.

I have been wondering if there is a BASIC or QUICKBASIC Echo?

I'm having a hard time looking through MultiMail DOS full Echo List
when I'm looking through it, so since You are posting in this Echo
I thought to ask You if it is there anymore?

I know I will need help to write a program.

I use the Online Bible (OLB) - DOS version and I thought about using
QBASIC to make 366 List (.LST) Files on XP's HDD.

The first file would use the OLB to make a Search of all Scripture
Verses (say) to find any verse 1:1 in all of the 66 Books.

The last file would look for verse 12:31 .

In other words, One file for every Calendar Day in a Leap Year.

I learned the OLB has Keyboard Shortcuts that uses the
F# (Function) Keys and thought it would be nice to do the job
using a QBASIC file OR a Batch File (if I could figure how to write
some code like I would using a Array in QBASIC.

I'd use CHR$(x) for each of the 12 Function Keys in the program.
I know there is a program on XP where I can find the "x" value for
each the F Keys.

I know a bit more about writing a BASIC program with Arrays, than
how to make a .BAT file jump through hoops.

I know just enuf to be considered dangerous at the keyboard.

I've siad it B4: "I'm not Mister Know-it-all, I just act like one.".

Maybe somebody reading my message will have suggestions for me.

The Array(s) would be used for the Days in each Month.

1,1 - 1,31    2,1 - 2,29   etc.  etc.

Yep! Ed does have a weird head, don't he?

Nuf aaid.

Thanks for reading.
