Message-ID: <1113@ut-ngp.UUCP> Date: Sat, 8-Dec-84 03:34:28 EST Article-I.D.: ut-ngp.1113 Posted: Sat Dec 8 03:34:28 1984 Date-Received: Mon, 10-Dec-84 02:15:52 EST References: <596@burl.UUCP>, <309@sdchema.UUCP> Organization: U.Texas Computation Center, Austin, Texas Lines: 10 <> The bug (prompt appearing as part of string on INPUT) is a 'feature' of all CBM machines back to the 2001. The INPUT routine marks the cursor position after the prompt, but the screen editor clears it if printing causes a wrap to the next line, although it includes the previous line, unfortunately all of it. This is one of the reason people use the GET constructed INPUT. I never found a fix. Mike Fischer anthro@utngp
