Two problems I'm having with ACTION!:

1.  When using GetD() I am intermittently getting garbage!

          Open(2,"K:",4,0)
          xyz = GetD(2)
          (xyz contains random numbers from 0-255 even though
           the same key is hit on the keyboard)

    I've tried just using IOCB #7 (ACTION!'s default input channel)
    and other tricks but to no avail.  The thing that really makes
    me crazy is that it works fine until I edit the source file or
    do some other equally obscure thing and it breaks until I edit
    the file some more!!   Maybe I should have used BASIC after all...
    Or could this be a CIO problem??

2.  I've also had problems using Locate() (occassional hangs, bad
    data returned, etc.  Anyone else had these problems?
