What's xedit? an editor I presume? What? Is that a serious question?? xedit will disable MOE if you break into basic. That way you won't get macros or anything MOE related. And once you run another module, MOE will turn itself back on. MOE is still active in the pic with green border. I hit break and entered the xedit command and MOE is de-activated. The command is part of MOE, not basic.

rcamp48 Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 (edited) In this picture I show the original of line 25023 which causes the program to bomb if you have a large amount of free space as in bpar(C6) , I believe it bombs because you are dpoking a single value over 32676 ? In my changed line I change the '/' to a ',', is that what the original programmer had intended? Anyways it seems to work correctly for loading module.54 , where the original line does not. I get the send ok , but Syncterm gives it too many errors...................... I will have to try this on a real Atari. And do I use the telnet emulation setting for the modem in Altirra? Russ And yes sometimes you can press break without screwing up the program, it all depends whether or not data is being sent.
