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? druxu!tlz _ Terry L. Zrust (_) /~\ A.T.&T.
