Well, if you remember, I was the one who posted a while back saying that
I had a disk with many files of the same name (thanks to those who
replied). Well, I'm back with an even more bizzar error. As I was
typing the last message I posted about the megneto optical drive in the
capture buffer of Flash, strange things started happening. As I typed
in 'ing ' at the end of a word, the computer started hiccupping. I
still got the "key-click" sound, but it wouldn't disply what I typed,
instead it kept duplicating the 'ing ' of the last word I typed. After
it did this about 15 times, the system froze with 2 bombs, and I had to
reset. When it duplicated the 'ing ', it did it at the same speed that
I had originally typed it in, and as it reached the end of the line,
Flash still triggered its wrap-around.
If anyone could figure this out, they sure deserve a pat on the back!

PS
I had just tried to log onto a mainframe, but I got tons of
garbage (I think it was noise). I hungup and loged on again and again
got some garbage. The strange thing is that the garbage of both logons
was the same ie it displayed the same characters.

Do you have a joystick or other similar device plugged into your ST? It is a known fact that Proline Joysticks (The ones that work on the 7800 game system) will cause the ST to act in the manner in which you described. Dan Scott Happy Halloween!
