[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Bug in CED

edwin@hcr.UUCP (Edwin Hoogerbeets) (06/15/88)

Try this:
Go to the bottom of the screen by pressing return a bunch of times.
Type in a full line of text up to the maximum number allowed (127
methinks). Now, home the cursor to the beginning of the line.
Now, press a control character. The control character will be displayed
as '^A' or whatever you chose, and will replace one of the characters on
that line while moving everything else up. Now, do this a bunch more
times. When the end of the line previously typed reaches past the second
line of text, spaces will start to be printed. And printed. And
printed. ad nauseum.

Don't ask me why you would want to do this, but it was done.
Please email me as I don't normally read this group.
