   Howdy! Bob,   
      
   It was me that caused all the fuss that Janis was told about.   
      
   I hadn't seen any messages in the Windows95 echo for 6 days and thought   
   something was broken in FIDONET and asked Daryl Stout and maybe Mike   
   Powell, my SysOp, about checking for me.   
      
   I was wrong, and since then Windows95 has been busy.   
      
   I saw a message from You in Classical Computing talking about getting   
   the TRS-80 Model I out.   
      
   Maybe You can help me with something that has been bothering me for   
   some time now.   
      
   IIRC, there was a Basic Program for the TRS-80 that drew a Star on the   
   monitor screen.   
      
   It was in a monthly magazine, I'm thinking it was either Popular   
   Elecronics or Radio-Electronics.   
      
   I convinced the wife I HAD to go to a Radio Shack store and type the   
   listing in and Run it to see it work.   
      
   When I Ran it, it didn't work like the picture in the magazine, so I   
   tried Editing a Line and got it to work.   
      
   I remember it started out with a character in the center of the Top Row   
   of the Screen.   
      
   The next Screen Row had two characters that made the shape of a upside   
   down Capital V start appearing.   
      
   Each of the other Screen Row had two characters following to start   
   showing more of the Inverted V until it got to the Middle Screen Row   
   where the character was repeated all the way across the screen.   
      
   When the program finished running the Star was on the screen until it   
   was Cleared.   
      
   Do You remember what magazine and what months issue that program came   
   in?   
   I still have my magazine issues from way before the TRS-80 Model I came   
   to the Radio Shack stores.   
      
      
   I have a book from Radio Shack called "Basic Conversion Handbook", that   
   shows how to convert Commodore PET, and Apple ][ programs to run on a   
   TRS-80 Model I or III , or convert TRS-80 BASIC programs to run on the   
   other two systems, and I would like to Run it on my Commodore 64 and   
   watch it Run.   
   Thanks and 73 .
