I have found yet another possible bug with arp v1.3 In my startup-sequence file I use the skip <* >NIL: ? for input control to determine how my system should startup here is a brief fragment example: echo " enter menu option" skip <* >NIL: ? ; ; ....... block of program statements ......... ; lab x do something else the bug I'm getting is if an "x" is entered it is never found. I played around with the script and did get it to work but I had to change the "l" in lab to upper case and make the line before the label blank. I'm not familiar with how all the script type commands work and I haven't experimented around enough with swapping arp commands with amiga dos to be able to pin point the culprit but I suspect skip, lab, or execute. When I changed it to the following it worked fine. echo " enter menu option" skip <* >NIL: ? ; ; ....... block of program statements ......... ; Lab x do something else Lance Holmes
