It seems that I got into the habit of using CNTRL X as the character I typed to ZCPR page mode TYPE command. It was innocent. Well it seems that CP/M 3 echos the character that you type. So by typing a CONTROL X it echoed CNTROL X and pumpkined my terminal. (by listening to football announcers I have learned that the Verbs built around DEFEND have all been worn out. DEFENCE has been drafted as the new replacement VERB and all the new verbs like defenced and defences are now being used. I hope that this VERB wears out soon as well. But anyway I thought I would introduce a verb a day and PUMPKINED is my first)
