HERE I HAVE COUPLE QUESTIONS WHICH YOU MAY KNOW THE ANSWER: 1. HOW TO AVOID THE "FREEZING MOUTH" PROBLEM AFTER USING SERIAL I/O? I HAVE FOLLOWED THE SUGGESTIONS IN MAC4TH NEWS LETTER WHICH SAYS THAT " ... ON LINE 4 OF SCREEN 16 IN THE SERIALINTERFACE CODE: TOKEN.FOR SERIAL.IN 'CLOSE.ALL W! THIS POLITELY CLOSES ALL THE FILES...." WELL, I TRIED AND IT DID NOT WORK. 2. AFTER INCLUDING THE TERMINAL ASSIST BLOCKS, I DID GET MENUS ON THE SCREEN ALONG WITH THE MACFORTH BLOCKS MENU BARS. BUT THE MACFORTH MENU BARS WILL DISAPPEAR THE SAME TIME AS I UNMAKE THE SOME OF THE MENU BARS OPEN FROM OPTIO MENU EARLIER. DO YOU SEE OR HEAR ANYONE ELSE REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEM ? THANKS.
