Directory Help

-----------------------------------

this has porbally been asked before but i couldn't find anything in the last 4 pages of posts.

when using Dir.GetLong, the help file states:
Bit 3 attrExecute set to 1 if the program can execute the file.

Does Anybody know what the heck this means???

I believe it's a return value from using Dir.GetLong() or something like that.  Check up using F10 on the said command.  Could be handy in avoiding Sys.Exec() errors.

Delos i know what it's from, but dont know what it returns, i placed the same code listed in the example code for it and not a single file on my comp comes up with that attribute.

Intriguing.  It appears that either this 'executable' format does not exist, is of some obscure format that rarely shows its face, or Holt screwed up.

I'm going to go with the latter.
