Could someone go out and verify that I'm not the one causing this problem? Boot into GS/OS 3.0. Go to the Control Panel/Control Panel. Go to Sound. Set the sound to the lowest setting available. The new software makes thisa built in 'VISIBELL', in other words, no sound, but the border flashes...leave the control panel. Go to BASIC.SYSTEM (I was using 1.3). Type ctrl-G a few times...notice the flashing...type ctrl-x BEFORE tying ctrl-m....now type ANYTHING that would cause a syntax error. The ctrl-x was to show that it wasn't simply sounding the bell that causes the problem. It may be error or screen or who knows routines that are doing it... I start getting repetitive gibberish. This does NOT happen unless the sound is set to the lowest setting. whats going on? BTW, I might not check my mail for a few days...don't worry, I'll be back! :) Brendan

I tried it, and *did* duplicate the problem Brendan mentioned. However, it happened only in 40 column mode; in 80 columns, everything worked just fine. The "gibberish" seems to be a combination of digits and Applesoft words (at least for me). Jeff Hartkopf Internet: hartkopf@tramp.Colorado.EDU

Ooops, sorry, I forgot to deactivate all my 'extras'. I'll check to see if there is something that is causing it other than the system software... I'll get back to ya.

Did you have any extras installed when you got the gibberish in 40 columns? DAs, inits, etc?
