Hi. My cousing has recently bought a Commodore 64 system with disk. He loads a game from a disk and starts running it. Now, when he wants to stop the games and/or load another one or do something in basic, he has to turn the machine on and off. IS there a keyboard key sequence that he can use to return him to on board basic from a running program??? Any pointers are greately appreciated!! Thank you. -- -- NAME: Michael Umansky (misha) E-MAIL: ucbvax!hplabs!nsc!daisy!misha WORK: Daisy Systems Corp. 700B Middlefield Road Mountain View, CA 94039-7006 (415) 960-7166 (work) HOME: 94 Cassia Ct.

If this doesn't reset the machine, and the game has no facility to exit to BASIC, turning the machine off is your only recourse. The power switch is the C64 'reset/reboot' switch!
