Just don't try it with CED or some such, +--------------- Precisely; I messed up my first attempt to load a small test program (I had to enter the "N" command to DEBUG manually, and I typo'ed in the process); backspacing to correct it worked fine. Now, I don't know that CTTY works perfectly on the T1000, but it certainly worked well enough for me to copy a largeish COM file across as DEBUG "E" commands, modulo a few flow-control glitches (it dropped the last line of the file, I always had to enter the "RCX" command manually -- but it DID NOT crash). MS-DOS is not necessarily identical across all computers. ++Brandon -- Brandon S.
