The number is not in that cell (ie it cannot be deleted or > overwritten from that cell), but just appears there. This problem appeared when I had Quick ST (the graphics accelerator) installed. Just disable it temporarily/permanently from your AUTO folder. I don't know if this bug originates in Opus or Quick. Note that the Quick ST I had was the shareware distribution NOT the commercial version. > > 2.

I have configured Opus for both a 9-pin Epson and a 24-pin Epson compatible, so I have *some* experience. I'll mail you my Opus ASSIGN.SYS file for the 24-pin so as not to waste net space/time. > This is my second posting, and I really would appreciate it if someone > who has figured out how to use/install the program could reply.

(usermeso@mtsg.ubc.ca | usermeso@ubcmtsg.bitnet) I have found Opus to be a *very* powerful and useful program. I would suggest sending in at least $25 to Doug Harrison for the Lotus/Quattro file compatibility version. The graphing facility is very nice. Opus makes the aforementioned DOS programs look very primitive.
