Afaik you can't because blitz mode has no interface to the system. the easiest thing to do is goto amiga mode execute your program and then return to blitz mode, or do it all in amiga mode which would probably be better as your writing a program to interact with the system not override it
 don't forget you can ask this sort of stuff on the Blitzlist (Dave or Bernd might know a way to do it)... |

if my memory serves me right, you need to use qamiga and amiga commands from within blitz mode.
This basically preserves all the blitzmode registers etc, and allows you to do basic i/o! also.. tbh avoid blitzmode and program properly using the OS!!! below is a exerpt from the blitz manual!! QAmiga Mode It is also possible to jump out of Blitz mode and back into Amiga mode. This can done using either the QAmiga or Amiga statement. Using Amiga to go back into Amiga mode will fully return you to the Amiga's normal display, complete with mouse pointer. Using QAmiga will return you to Amiga mode, but will not affect the display at all. This allows your Blitz mode programs to jump into Amiga mode for operations such as file I/O, then to jump back to Blitz mode without having to destroy a Blitz mode display. An Important note!!!!! You should always ensure that absolutely no disk or file access is taking place before entering Blitz mode. At the time of this writing, no software method of achieving this has yet been discovered. By following these guidelines using Blitz mode should be pretty safe: . Always wait for the floppy drive light to go out if you have saved some |
