Recently I wrote a program that uses a TEDINFO where the template string is FFFFFFFFFFF. According to the Atari docs, and the Sybex GEM book, this should allow only filename characters to be entered. In fact, this is a template that should also avoid the underscore crash bug. However, I found when I ran the program that hitting an illegal character like / or = or + or anything no included in the F specification causes the text cursor to jump to the end of the line, filling the line with spaces. Hitting an illegal character again will cause the whole thing to crash. Can someone tell me what is going on? I've used TEDINFO's before, and the only differenece between my previous programs and this one is that the resource is "built-in" in this program. I'm using the RCSFIX.C supplied by Atari (and Alcyon C). - Warner Young

Have you tried it without using the RCSFIX, just loading the resource? It
may be a side-effect of the RCSFIX program.
