I don't think the phantom typist is not caused by the ST missing a 'key released' signal. If you turn off all interrupts and then move the mouse, the ST behaves as if it has received _lots_ of keypresses. It doesn't slow typing down as reported. I've never seen 'The Phantom Typist'. What has happened to me in First Word Plus, using a disk based versiuon of TOS 1.4 (8/8/88 version), is that the program simply locks up while I'm typing quickly. No chances to save, it's gone. This may be a problem with my old copy of TOS 1.4, but until I can buy some ROMs from Atari UK.... Mat. *********************************************************************** * c/o Dept.
