This is basically the same as Ted's idea. When you are writing your program in Qbasic, you normally save it. This creates a file with a .BAS extension. Get into Notepad, "open" this .BAS file, and then use "print" to print it. Of course you have to give Notepad the right path to ...

Never saw it listed anywhere.
Curiously enough, my Quickbasic manual has error code 7 for both "Out of data space" and "Out of memory."

Yes, there is an "Out of data space" error. For both the "Out of data space" and the "Out string space", as well as the "Out of memory" errors, the Quickbasic manual recommends: * Use a smaller file buffer in the OPEN statement's LEN clause. * Use the $DYNAMIC...

Perhaps you can also use STR$(number%) to convert a number to a string. You should use LTRIM$ to eliminate the space before a positive number like this: num$ = LTRIM$(STR$(number)) Then use MID$ to rearrange each letter in the number in a counter loop. To convert a string to a number use VAL as alr...

If you already converted the number to a string and reversed the digits, then use the VAL function to convert the new string to a numeric value.

Example:
NEWVALUE = VAL(NEWSTRING$)
