Yes, I was referring to the ProDOS 8 patch. I haven't used the GS/OS
patch. It's really not all that difficult to fix it. Here is my own
version of the ProDOS/P8 patches to trap the ":" character. (I also
expanded the upper end of the range of permissible characters. Jeff
Brielmaier posted a script to do that a while ago on the FidoNet.)

The "2.0.3" in the first lines could probably be changed to "2.0.x",
but I used "2.0.3" because that's the only version I've tried it with.

Here is my own version of the BASIC.SYSTEM patch. It does the same
thing in essence as Tom Larson's, but it saves a couple of cycles
under certain circumstances. :)
