Thanks Ron --- While I am a registered Lattice owner, there is no way I could
access the Lattice BBS from here. Would anyone who can be willing to mail it
to me, assuming that is allowed, or suggest another source?

b.t.w. several people have suggested setting up a separate task to do the
standard i/o and having it send a message to the main task when a line of
input becomes available. This has attractions but still leaves the 'related
problem' mentioned above. If David N. Junod's example solves this one too then
I'll be extra happy, but if not, has anyone any suggestions?

Thanks again to all who replied.	phi
