*** EAT THIS LINE WITH MY COMPLIMENTS *** Has any other CoCo OS9'er noticed that when using the Wordstar screen editor with the PBJ WordPack II, that the top two lines get bargled up very early in the edit? These are the file name and "typewriter platen" lines. They quickly get overlaid with some lines from your file, which gets very confusing since you think they are part of the current page on the screen. Often they are lines you *thought* you had deleted -- and in fact, you have! Worse yet, you can ^E the cursor up into them as if they were part of your file. You can even delete chars out of them -- wonder what you're REALLY deleting? The problem seems to begin when you use ^C to advance by one screenfull, or maybe upon ^R in the reverse direction. Anyway, does Frank Hogg have an upgraded version? Or is the bug in the Wordpack OS9 driver? Or can I TMODE something in TERM to clear this up? Thanks, mike k

I'm confused. Are you using
Dynastar under OS-9 or are you using
Wordstar under CP-M? Actually, I
couldn't help you anyway since i
only have Stylograph and Elite*Word
under OS-9 and don't even use Elite*
Word anymore. Still, somebody may
be able to help, if you specify which
way you are working. For those who
don't know, there are Z-80 cards and
CP/M versions available for the Color
Computer, so I'm not being facetious.
Cheers! -- Jim O.
