    Yes. F1 has become unstable, and is no longer available.

    Cheers,

    I can't find the ALT key on my Vic-20.

    Speaking of Vic-20. If I dared you to write a BBS for that, would you dare me to write a mailer for it? (Lets agree that the 16k Expander Cartridge would be needed?)

    I ran a BBS on the Vic. It was awefully slow. I had to juryrig a handset cradle. Vicmodem? What? I can't remember the name of the software, but I was sure excited when I got my C64C. <grin>

    I know that there was at least two mailers for the C64.

    I have yet to see a Fido mailer for the Vic-20... I know its technically possible, even if it just does the bare-minimum FTS-0001 but a real challenge to cram that all in 16k. Not to mention storage of messages/packets... I'm guessing the cassette drive won't do, haha

    I think the 22x23 text display just ruins it for me. Give me at least 40x25!

    Yes. F1 has become unstable, and is no longer available.

    no thanks to wordperfect which changed the help key to F3 IIRC...

    i still much prefer wordstar touch-typist keys to any others ;)

    My thoughts exactly, though there is more anger/anguish in my thoughts than yours,

    i still much prefer wordstar touch-typist keys to any others ;)

    Yes. The nicest thing was that even WS was keystroke-compatible with everything else in the early business computing universe. I wonder how they did that.

    Cheers,
    Paul.
