Greetings,

  I've just downloaded Tetris to my 48SX, and I must say I'm impressed!

  I'm having problems, though.  After pressing "start", the screen comes up,
there's a delay (with the hourglass), and the pieces start coming.  They seem
to be pretty slow, but I don't know if that's the machine, or what.  Anyway,
when I finally drop one, there's a long delay before the next piece comes.
After a few, the machine seems to hang completely.  It's just sitting there
with the hourglass up and a few pieces on the bottom of the pit.  ON won't
cure it.  ON-C interrupts it nicely, although it seems to leave a few flags
on, etc.

  Any idea what the problem might be?

  Another question:  Is there an easy way to change the keys?  I'd like to
have different keys do rotate, drop, etc.

Thanks!
