I have a II and I can't believe that the IIe manuals don't tell you how to disable the ctrl-c function. I recommend getting a hold of the II manuals if you want to do any serious programming. All the features of the II have been supported on the IIe. It is impossible to modify any of Applesoft when you have it in ROM. They do leave you 1 user definable command! This is the & command this command causes a JSR $3F5. You can then create a JMP to your routine and use an RTS to return control to BASIC. Well, well look what Apple says about the & command they say, "The ampersand (&) is intended for the computer's internal use only it is NOT a proper APPLESOFT command. This symbol, ....." This looks like an excuse for not explaining any thing that requires advanced knowledge. To disable ctrl-c you must insert 2 statements. (Caution! Do not use this with any Applesoft program containing GET statements. XXXX ON ERR GOTO YYYY YYYY RESUME To re-enable crtl-c use a statement with a POKE 216,0. Gregg Stefancik harpo!whuxlb!drd
