I came across an embarrassing situation today while trying to teach some people about the APPLESOFT hi-res graphic commands. I had entered the following program: 10 HGR 20 HCOLOR=7 30 HPLOT 0,0 40 HCOLOR = RND(1) * 8 50 HPLOT TO RND(1) * 279, RND(1) * 191 60 GOTO 40 The program is supposed to draw several connected line segments, each line one of the eight different possible colours. Much to my surprise, APPLESOFT refused to change the HCOLOR, and drew all of the lines in the same colour (white). Does anyone know why this happened (Is there an error in my program, or does APPLESOFT do this on purpose just to annoy people)? Thanks, -Ian ...!uw-beaver!ubc-vision!alberta!rob
