I have encountered a very wierd behavior on my C64. I stupidly bought
a game on tape just before deciding to buy a disk. I'd like to copy
it to disk but have hit some snags. My main question right now is
this: why does LOAD from tape behave differently in immediate and
program mode? Specifically, I am trying to load from tape with
'LOAD "",1,1'. Typed for immmediate execution it loads some data
(as prescribed by the header), then returns control to me. In a
program, however, it reads data for a much longer time, eventually
stopping with the keyboard hung. I'd ask Commodore for help, but they
never responded to a previous letter.

About the audio in on the DIN plug. The User's Guide somewhere
notes that you can read this input for envelope control on
synthesizer #3 or some such sensible thing. If I had the book
here now I'd look it up. Sorry.
