Summary: MORE version 1.2, plus a TOS bug (?)

[]

Here is MORE.TTP, version 1.2.  Two small bugs have been fixed, and
the following features added:

When showing a file on the screen, if you press <Home> it jumps back
to the top of the file.  If it is already there, it jumps to the end
of the file.  In addition, pressing <Space> (or <Backspace>)  while a
screen is being drawn aborts the drawing and starts drawing the next
(or former) screen.  When looking for specific parts of a file, these
features speed things up a lot.

PROBLEM:  pressing <Return> too many times causes the ST bell to ring
and some strange behavior afterwards (sometimes crashes!).  I use Bconin(2),
i.e. BIOS(2,2).  I have some evidence that the keyboard buffer keeps
filling up.  And I thought that it is drawn down each time you call
Bconin(2)...  I think somebody has already posted the suspicion that there
is something fishy about the handling of keyboard input overrun in TOS.  
Can somebody (Allan?) elucidate what's going on?
