🚀 go-pugleaf

I have a utility called 'filename' which when called from dos pops
up with a list of files in the current directory and allows you to
select on with a scroll bar. It then sets an environment variable 
(FILENAME) to the name of the file selected.

I would like to use this in a couple of Qbasic programs, but the only
way I have found to call it is to use the QB Shell command;

Shell ("filename")

unfortunately this sets up a new command shell and environment (I think),
and the result is that when the utility passes control back, it is not 
possible to retrieve the name of the file selected by

a$=environ$("FILENAME")



Any thoughts ?


Thanks, 

Alan.
