[comp.sys.apple] HELP!!!

SELLSWORTH@HMCVAX.BITNET ("Scott, part time fuzzy") (11/28/88)

  A friend using TML's standalone Pascal wants very desperately to peek a
certain memory location.

  He needs to read the joystick buttons.  How does one doe this?  The old ref
manuals tell us that if we find the high bit set of memory location 49249, then
the button has been pressed.  How do we get this value.  Alternatively, what do
we call to determine whether a joystick button has been pressed.

  Much thanks in advance.
                                            Scott

 Related question:has TML updated TML rev 1.5A yet?  They have not had an
update in many months; it is getting to be about time...

I'm back...

Well, I sold my old modem and have borrowed my friend's Practical Peripherals
1200SA.  When I try to use it with Applelink it dials correctly but has
problems connecting.  I have called Apple and have changed the switches to
as follows:

sw1:  Support use of DTR
sw2:  Full word result codes
sw3:  Result code enabled
sw4:  Command echo off
sw5:  Auto answer enabled
sw6:  Support use of DCD
sw7:  Not used
sw8:  Enable commands
sw9:  Bell 103/212a
sw10: M/S Ratio - USA

It still didn't work!

Also, when I tried calling local BBS's with these settings or the default
settings, I would get garbage characters appearing when it prompts me for
action (usually these { ) and my input would be garbled.  It seems that
it is receiving OK, but it is not transmitting properly.  If anyone can
help me I would greatly appreciate it.  Thanx!
