[net.micro.apple] APPLE PASCAL FOR //e

howell@unc.UUCP (William Howell) (03/27/84)

I have altered my apple pascal software to recognize the up and
down arrows as discussed in some of the recent news items.  But
now if I accidentally do a control-O the screen goes into reverse
video and there does not appear to be a way to put it back to
regular video without resetting the apple.  Any suggestions?

If you don't want CTRL-O (? - I thought it was CTRL-E or CTRL-R) to toggle
reverse video, then run the setup program again and set HAS LOWER CASE=TRUE.

Also, be sure to set the screen width to 80 instead of the default 79.  You
will see a dramatic difference in the displayed prompts and in the "E" display
from the FILER.

Whenever the //e screen is sent a control-O or control-Q strange things
can happen to your screen (i.e. it can turn inverse or into 40 column
mode).  To fix the //e without rebooting go into the filer and type
control-n (this sends a control-n to the screen which fixes things).
I believe that pascal 1.2 might fix this annoying bug/feature.
