If you have MicroSoft BASIC (at least, version 5.01 or earlier), the first character of your type-ahead is eaten when some commands return to the OK prompt. Not all commands exhibit this "feature"; my conclusion is that Microsoft forgot to call a subroutine that eats the character before returning to command level. If you don't use MBASIC, then you don't have to worry about this... Bruce Robertson
