Could you describe the bug in more detail?




After the frustration I searched and came up with this URL:

http://www.apple2.org/faq/FAQ.applesoft15.html

and this exact quote:

DOS 3.3 does have a few bugs related to the GET command. If the first
character printed after a GET is a control character, it will get
eaten. This prevents all DOS commands from working, unless you print a
sacrifice control character after GETs. Control-A (CHR$(1)) doesn't
acffect the screen or anything else, which makes it nice and useful.

So I put a CHR$(1); right before my CHR$(4) and it worked perfectly.


Yes, I remember this behavior...I worked around it myself a couple
of times--but mostly avoided it.  ;-)
