Re: Wreck of the BMS Pandora docs. Anyone have any or keyboard commands?

[".D.E." <arcadeguy6@forget.the.spam.hotmail.com>]

Thanks for the suggestions. I do have a copy of the original board game, but 
I need to play with the program like you said. However, when I try and load 
the Pandora part 2 program, I get an error #6.

I type in LOAD PANDORA PART 2
ERROR # 6,

I get the same error message with trying to load Pandora part 1 as well.

Suggestions?

Thanks.
