If i try tu use the "METRON" i have a NONEXISTENT report.
But with EXQ+ the function appears and is well executed. What is the matter?
I use it for my Alphorns exercices.

are you using a proper input in X for the beat?
How do you try to access it when you get the NONEXISTENT error?

I tried many possibilities. From the basicly mode XEQ ALPHA METRON with 60 in X to the CST assignement.=> NONEXISTENT
Then I tried whit XEQ+ ... METRON EXQ with no changements in X. And in this case it works.
My RomMap is Thanks for your interest to this question.

I've just tested here and it works as it should. However I have one suggestion. There's a version of Warp Core in the latest May bundle that Ángel put together that loads into slot 7 - look for WARP_BS3-p7.

The other benefit of using the slot 7 version of WARP CORE alongside the slot 6 version of AMC/OSX is that you'll most likely be able to load an extra multi page module as you'll be making the better use of the available IO slots.

Thank you for your help.
Unfortunately, it doesn't help. I also tried loading only "LIBRARY4" and "WARP_BS3-P7. ===> NONEXISTENT
Only loading through "XEQ+" works as expected. ===> METRON ... beep.beep...ok
I'm working with the latest updates. Pfff!!!

And I think you've found the solution to the riddle. If METRON can only be found with XEQ+ that means it's in a secondary FAT that XEQ can't see. That's how Ángel manages to add so much content into 4 or 8k of space. XEQ+ or XEQ$ (XEQ+ and then ALPHA) are the best way to fire off these functions. There are always module specific ways of navigating to these secondary FAT functions/routines but XEQ+/XEQ$ makes things far easier.

I've assigned XEQ+ to the non shifted XEQ as it's my primary way of firing off commands. You can still access XEQ when not is user mode and ASN still functions as it should, so I find it a very convenient way to work.

Thank you very much. I didn't immediately understand that I could make an "XEQ$" call in a "FOCAL" program.
It's super interesting and useful.
Problem solved.
