I was playing with MS-BASIC on a Lisa running MacWorks and popped up the calculator. It appeared, and then I was immediately deposited into the machine-level monitor; it printed a dump of the registers, etc. I haven't tried to replicate the bug-- I'll do that later-- but I wonder if there's a PC value that one can restart the machine at (via the "g" command) to reboot. Having to unplug the machine and power it up again is not only a pain (one has to reset the clock, for example (Lisa has no battery)) but makes me uneasy. Any hints will be gratefully accepted... thanks, p. rowley, U. Toronto

The Office System software doesn't rebind it. Rebooting the machine rebinds it, but exiting the Workshop to the environments window and going to the Office System doesn't. Macworks may do something similar as far as key bindings. Anyway, if you entered you entering the debugger by pressing the NMI key, you should be able to reenter the system by simply entering 'g' with no value. - Ralph Hyre -------
