Shell "dir" -- I expected something, but ..

[SMcNeill]

Normally a little console program like this simply opens and closes so fast that we never see it. If you want to view the console in QB64, try it like this:

Code: (Select All)

$Console
_Console On
Print "A" 'print "A" in the QB64 window
Shell "dir" 'view and run DIR in the console
Print "B" 'print "B" in the QB64 window
_ECHO "Hello World!" 'print hello world in the console
