Note: the newsgroup was changed (hopefully) since this is not really
a technical subject.

There is a WIDTH command (or something like that--its been a while since
I used BASIC) that sets the column AmigaBasic will line wrap at.  If it
is set to 0, it means no wrap (or wrap at infinity).

I don't have any idea about the other problems mentioned.

I also had the same problem. The only way I got rid of it was to power
down my computer. This bug would survive a warm reboot. Once I did that
it came up with no problems and I haven't had any problems since. 

Sorry, but I don't know what causes this or what fixes it.

I tried to get E-Mail to the original poster but it bounced.

I was the original poster - I just quoted a Bitnet article from someone who
was a bit of a help.  I did power down my system, but no luck.  Today,
the problem is gone!  Stranger things have heppened to my 2000, but...

     This happened on a friend's Amiga too. Powerdown didn't help; reboot
didn't help; what did help was to make another copy of AmigaBASUX from the
master disk. THAT fixed it.
     I'm still stuck with my compiler problem (i.e., It Just Quit Working
For No Apparent Reason And Hasn't Started Working Again Yet, Even After
I Got A New Copy From The Master And All The Other Obvious Solutions), so
if anybody has ideas - could these be related at all? - I'd love to hear
them...
