I found another minor bug in tetris 2.1 If you start a game, then,
press P to pause, it puts you out to the regular screen and
you get a "halt" message on the top of your screen. FINE.
However, if you want to start a new game and just get rid of
the one you paused, you can't really do it very easily. You would
have to restart that game and then stop it with a Q. However,
if you still have that "halt" message up and press START, you
get a new game, but the halt message stays on and you can't clear
it without doing an ON-C. If you try to do a RESU, it doesn't work.
Thanks!
Besides, these minor few bugs, I think it is an absolutely great game!

After you press P to pause the game in Tetris 2.x, you get the HALT.
Now, when you press START again, you can simply go on and play Tetris.
When you finish, or press Q or ON with Wickes' Iferr library installed,
the previous saved game gets "erased". Even if the HALT stays on, you
can't RESU the game because the GROB and stack variables have been lost.
If the HALT stays on, you don't have to do a ON-C, just press or type in
KILL (PRG CNTL menu). I didn't put a KILL routine within Tetris becasue
I didn't want to kill another program which has been suspended.
BTW Paul, check out Tetris 3.0.
