Are you in the UK? JW as I have never had the privelege of       seeing or using a BBC Micro. So it's a 6502 system from your post, so I       guess maybe the equivalent of my C-64? Although the 64 could only do       software based 80 col (I think). I tried my hand at basic, but never       assembler (not yet anyway).               BW> The BBC is great for other things, though - ==> therefore classic        BW> my book :)               I agree! Sounds like a very interesting system to learn and use! Thanks       for educating me! Always a good thing...              Best regards Bob       Don Vally                     ...
