I remember reading in some game magazine that ELITE for the Ami has an
'editor' type panel that can be accessed at the start of the game.  
Does anyone remember reading this or know anything about it?

A second question regarding the game.  Whenever I try to boot to it, 
it will not play unless I type <esc> <f1> <f2> before the title screen.
Many times it won't work even then.  Symptoms are refusal to listen to the 
keyboard, and the keyboard itself eventually locks up.  Ctrl-A-A resets 
the machine fine.  Also, at some random point in the game, my screen dies.
I've never had this last problem with anything else before.    

I have had the keyboard problem before.  When I play SubLogic's FS II I
have to type <f1> <f2> before the screen flicks color (to pink I think).
Otherwise the keyboard is ignored.  This never really bothered me.

One other thing.  I tried both these games on the dealer's Ami once I found
the problems.  It worked fine on his.  Both he and I are on A-2000's.  I
bought mine in Dec, 1987.  I know our keyboards look different.  Any ideas
would be appreciated.
