The latest (2.3) burndev with the H+ switch doesn't seem to work prop- erly with Excel/Windows. My guess is that Excel grabs the keyboard so effectively that burndev doesn't see input -- blanks the screen and doesn't restore it until you leave Excel and restore interrupt pointers for burndev... I don't know if the previous version (2.1) did the same since I didn't use H+ ... Bill Josephs Citicorp/TTI 3100 Ocean Park Blvd Santa Monica, Ca. 90405

I don't think the problem is with Excel. Windows grabs the keyboard interrupt
and prevents the blanker from seeing keyboard input. I had the same problem
with a screen blanker from Video7's VegaDeluxe board. I had to tunr blanking
off in a small batch file before bringing up Windows, then turn blanking on
when I left.
