Hi

I just found this product and it looks great!

I want to write BASIC programs for my iPad. Can you please tell me if this product can be used to access data from files stored on my iPad? How about files on iCloud and Dropbox? Could I access and manipulate (tweak) files from my camera roll? Can you point me to the documentation on file handling as I can't see it in the downloaded manual.

Thanks in advance

In general, BASIC can access local files and it has basic HTTP support to access Internet files.
There are "FILES" and "NET" documentation sections which are dedicated to local and Internet files access and handling.

Also you can look at the provided program samples, for example:
Sprites/every frame.txt
Music & Sound/play MIDI file.txt
Interactive Interface/Motion Detector/motion detector.txt

Of course you cannot access iPad files which are not inside the BASIC documents file storage. iCloud and Dropbox files are also not accessible.
