Hi, gang - now logging on again from the U.S. Been working in Mexico for five months and we are TIRED! Saw the eclipse from Cuernavaca. I imagine some of you folks saw it from the Baja - pretty astounding, right? Couple of things: Been using my Model 100 down there - had to leave the big desktop at home, but am impressed more than ever by the Model T and the URII. The main thing I missed on the big desktop was its faster modem! Some small glitches, though: 1) When printing to a RAM file using IDEA!, I get a whole column of control J's along the left edge of the file. Any suggestions? Have tried naming the RAM file with and without a .DO extension, but no luck. 2) When in the T-Word Files menu, you can call up a file from disk by hitting F-3, but you can only access files on bank 0 of the disk. Is there a way to access to files on bank 1 from this menu? 3) I found out something the hard way - perhaps this is not news to many of you, but the CONFIG.DO file for URII absolutely has to end with a CR. I was going bats one day and couldn't get a document to print when I stumbled across this fact. Somehow, when altering my CONFIG.DO file, I had deleted its final CR. Just thought I'd pass that on. 4) Along that line, I also noticed the cold start routine at the end of the manual for TS-DOS is missing a comma - right between PRINT#1 and CHR$ etc. Again, this may be an old discovery by now! 5) And finally - not a glitch, but a question: does anyone know what QLINK is? Is it a file transfer program? Is it on this BBS! (Sorry - haven't looked yet!) Thanks, everybody - Paul.
