As most of you know, the Amiga has support for a 9600 baud terminal as a
debugging device.  I never discovered out how to dump to ROM Wack on a
Guru, however.	When I dusted off a Kickstart V1.1 the right mouse button
would work, under V1.2, no.  Carolyn Scheppner provided the secret:


Press the delete key on the remote terminal duing the blinking light (before
the impending guru).


"poof", it worked.  This is *not* listed in the version of the RKM that
is available to me.  Never seen mention of it anywhere before.

---------------

To try this out, just type "libs:diskfont.library" from any CLI.  (When
that bug is fixed I'll have to write a custom Guru maker :-)

However, to get to ROM wack you don't really need that Guru.  From a CLI type
"loadwb -debug", and use the invisible menu to select item "debug".  Type
"user" or "resume" from the remote to restart the Amiga when you are finished.
