     [Request for help with Applesoft program running under DOS deleted]


Rule #1: Never use the Applesoft or Integer BASIC commands 'PR#' or 'IN#'
         in a BASIC program running under DOS 3.2, DOS 3.3 or ProDOS.
         These commands are available as DOS commands, that will not cause
         the disconnection of DOS.

Example: Replace all occurances of:

		PR# 3

         with:

		PRINT CHR$(4) "PR# 3"
