   I've never seen anything about the Akaso camera.   
      
   Hmmm, another thing to add to my huge ROUNDTUIT file of things to do.   
      
   I have been wondering if there is a BASIC or QUICKBASIC Echo?   
      
   I'm having a hard time looking through MultiMail DOS full Echo List   
   when I'm looking through it, so since You are posting in this Echo   
   I thought to ask You if it is there anymore?   
      
   I know I will need help to write a program.   
      
   I use the Online Bible (OLB) - DOS version and I thought about using   
   QBASIC to make 366 List (.LST) Files on XP's HDD.   
      
   The first file would use the OLB to make a Search of all Scripture   
   Verses (say) to find any verse 1:1 in all of the 66 Books.   
      
   The last file would look for verse 12:31 .   
      
   In other words, One file for every Calendar Day in a Leap Year.   
      
   I learned the OLB has Keyboard Shortcuts that uses the   
   F# (Function) Keys and thought it would be nice to do the job   
   using a QBASIC file OR a Batch File (if I could figure how to write   
   some code like I would using a Array in QBASIC.   
      
   I'd use CHR$(x) for each of the 12 Function Keys in the program.   
   I know there is a program on XP where I can find the "x" value for   
   each the F Keys.   
      
   I know a bit more about writing a BASIC program with Arrays, than   
   how to make a .BAT file jump through hoops.   
      
   I know just enuf to be considered dangerous at the keyboard.   
      
   I've siad it B4: "I'm not Mister Know-it-all, I just act like one.".   
      
   Maybe somebody reading my message will have suggestions for me.   
      
   The Array(s) would be used for the Days in each Month.   
      
   1,1 - 1,31    2,1 - 2,29   etc.  etc.   
      
   Yep! Ed does have a weird head, don't he?   
      
   Nuf aaid.   
      
   Thanks for reading.
