A friend of mine just discovered a bug in advanced basic 2.0 for the
IBM PC. He wanted to print out the character chr$(16) (triangle pointing
right), and so entered ALT-16 inside a quoted string. As soon as he
hit return, the computer hung. It did respond to interrupt driven things
(i.e. keyboard, print screen) after that, but to do anything else it
required a reboot.
I'd be interested in hearing if the same thing happens to others. Anybody
want to try it?
