  After downloading another copy of Kermit sent to me, I found out
 that the same problems occured.  Desperate I unplugged everything
 but the essentials (removed Fast Load catridge, printer, joysticks,
 etc.) and IT WORKED PROPERLY :-)

  Determined to find out what the culprit device was I plugged
 everyting in one at a time and discovered that it was the 
 joysticks causing all of the problems.  (Hmmmm.... seem to 
 remember I have to unplug the keyboard in order to play
 GRAND PRIX CIRCUIT)

 Thanks for the info Guys ......
