	I have been struggling with this problem and I hope that someone in net 
land can help. In the Rom Kernal Manual in the chapter on the Console Device 
there is a program called "cons.c".  I have verified that I have typed in the 
program correctly. So I am not sure what to do next.

	The symptoms seem to be that it skips commands. The first command is
ConWrite ("Hello World/r/n",14), but I do not get that line. I do get the line 
saying "testing BACKSPACE" but then the cursor does not move backwards. I get 
the next "testing" line but the cursor does not do it.  this continues for the  
calls o ConPutChar primarily. It sort of straightens out for the calls to 
ConPutStr (it displays the text and move the cursor correctly) except I never 
get a Carriage Return - Linefeed.

	I have tried every combiniation I can think of, and don't see that I am 
missing anything according to the documentation.  Has anyone else tried this 
program?  Could someone at Commodore check the documentation and see if there 
are any mistakes? 

			Thanks in advance for any and all help.
