Solved: How to use S and L commands in WinVICE monitor?

No matter what I try, I always get an "cannot open" error when I use i.e.

S "test" 8 1000 1DFF

From BASIC interpreter I can access the virtual disk in drive 8. I have to admit, that I didn't search the WinVICE website, because I thought, s.o. here might have the answer ad-hoc.

Quotes around the filename, and $ in front of the hex references.

Thx for reply. The problem was, that the built-in monitor obviously can't access the drive when in directory mode. When I use the disk image mode, it seems to work fine.

If you want to save to the "virtual drive" or a folder, just use:

s "test" 0 1000 1DFF

0 is the "virtual drive" from the monitor.
