Can anyone explain alt mode in CPM Plus on a C-128.  I have the
128 System Guide that came with the machine but it seems that
Commodore was quite terse with information concerning the CPM
side of the machine.  There is some metion made concerning toggling
the mode on and off but so far the alt key seems to make no difference
on anything.   I'm also interested in being able to change key definitions
from within a C program.  Any help there?
While I have you all here let me throw out another problem that I would like
to nail down.  I use two 1571 drives.  I usually have all the system and
utility files on drive A: and do my work on drive B:, having done a
"setdef a:,b:" to arrange my search path.  This is all taken care of by
my profile.sub file.  However, no matter which disk, brand or density, I
use eventually one or two files get corrupted on the A:drive.  I can copy
a new file over the bad one and it will run for a few sessions and then
the corruption occurs again.  Often the same files get corrupted but 
just as often different files get hit.  Too often the file is "submit.com".
Has anyone else experienced problems like this with their drives?
Thanks in advance.
Best,
Bob
