    "While on the subject of datagramming, I want to thank Allan Dubost of Dibdon Purlieu in Hampshire for sending me a series of datagrammes which will enable Visicalc users to load VC files from a menu. Not only can his datagrammes provide you with a catalog of the files on any VC data disc, but the loading of any file can be done by keying /SL followed by h single letter, even if the full name of the file actually consists of 30 characters. How does Allan do it? All will be revealed in a month or two."
