Just wondering if anybody has had these problems, or could anybody
point our where I might be at fault?

I had a printer cable made up to CBM's (aust) specifications. Everything works,
Polyscope, Notepad  routing to PRT: etc except  LLIST.  LPRINT works fine.
Characters are missed in a random way, about 1 every 5 on my printer
(Epson compatible) and also on other prnters I tried at the local dealers.
The Okimate-20 (which there was a specific reference for in Preferences) also
lost characters.  

As well is there anyway I can type to the printer in a RAW mode. There is no
documentation in Australia about anything (as yet) so as regards to the CLI,
so I am trying to get the BASIC figured out first.

An empty window crashes the system, fair enough that's illegal(:-)) but when
I tick a menu element  using mode 2 , I can't untivck it with mode 1 or 0?

Is it possible to get 1200/75 from BASIC, or even from outside BASIC, what about
75/1200.  Also keyboard character input is a bit fudgy when you type too fast in
a terminal mode.  (I can't wait for a C compier).

When in psuedo-edit mode in a LIST window, if I select the OUTPUT window with
the mouse, then start typing, the first character goes to the LIST window before
the cursor swithes over to the OUTPUT one. Is it supposed to do this?

Those O/sS complaining about prices might be interested to know that DPaint
first came into the shops at $115.  It seems CBM Aust bought the copyright from
Electronic Arts. It now sells for $250!!!. The Amiga sells for $2495 with
RGB monitor and 512K RAM. It was released about 2/3 weeks ago, the inavailabilty
of sodftware %& documentation due to June being the exepected date.   The Atari
520ST came in the stores a week before at $2999, it is now $2495, hopefully
the price war will continue here...
