I was hoping that VLT had a capability like this, since
my major use for Copy/Paste is when replying to messages
while in VLT.  However, I was not able to find an 
explanation of what you are refering to in the VLT
manual.
	1) How do I "grab" characters from the screen in VLT?
	2) Once grabbed, can I paste those characters back
	   into the VLT active comm window?

If these are referenced in the VLT manual, page references are OK.

Thanks a lot,

Is that a Manitoban-student price??? The Email they sent me
(see About MAPLE V... in this conference) was talking of $695.

At 300 bucks maybe I would consider buying it, but at $695...

Seriously, I have the exact same version and had no trouble with the

What machine do you have?
Mine is A2000, 1mg Agnus, 2mg fast, 2.04 and not much else...

There is a new version of ReOrg, my shareware disk optimizer, available
for FTP download: V2.33

Some users have reported a bug in ReOrg V2.3, V2.31 and V2.32 that could
cause deadlocks in some cases when the optimization was 99% finished.
I have finally found and fixed that bug in this new version.

You can FTP from

ReOrg V1.x (Kick 1.3 versions) did not have this bug, so there is
no update necessary for those versions.

I, too, would advocate the use of JobManager 1.1b.

However, I can't.

Please, if you're using JM1.1b, stop using it.  I've been tracing some
problems, and some curious instabilities while running OS2.04.
They've traced back to Job Manager.

Now, I know that what Job Manager does isn't "legal" but I figured
that maybe it would be okay.  I guess not.  Specifically, JM can cause
other programs to guru.  So, stop using JM.

I've found a replacement for the "ps" function, "slist".  It seems to
work relatively well (though it's not as pretty and I liked the way
everything made use of a task # under JM).  slist is available on a
Fish disk.  For task control I now use TaskX.

From what I've heard, one of the problems with WP is that they sold a very
large number of the Amiga version in bundles, and didn't have the user

I wasn't able to unASC XY-Modem 2.2. I wonder if anybody could unASC it. I
tried ASC\-> on the HP48 and TASC.EXE on something running DOS, ASC\->
'invalid string', TASC 'Bad CRC'.

I also tried changing the translate code to T(2), and then transfering and
unASCing it, but that didn't work either, with Lupo.Asc it helped. Please do
*not* use T(1), that runs with Unix, Amigas and some other Machines, but not
with Mac, ST or PC. But that wasn't the problem with XYModem.

OK, it came UUEncoded also, so I got a working version of it.

Well, my Old Fine Manual is dated 1/90 (printed in Canada?  Wild!  I never 
noticed that!), and in Chapter 4, "Objects," on page 86, is a small section 
on string objects.  This form of string is explicitly described.  Both the
C$<nnn> form and the C$...$ form are called a "counted string."  You can 
also find "counted string" in the index.

It's understandable that a user would forget or overlook a detail like this.  
The HP48SX is a complex machine, and The Fine Manual has a huge job to do.  
It does omit some things, but this one's in there.

I know this has been mentioned many times before, but I can't remember
exactly what has been said about it.

I've had my 48sx since Oct '90 and have so far had no problems with it.
This Wednesday (7 Oct) I turned it on and noticed that all of the pixels
in the 4th column from the left were flashing in some arbitrary manner.
When I turned it on today (9 Oct), that column was completely blank--
no flashes, no black, no nothing.  The rest of the display still works
flawlessly.

I appears as though a connection has given out on the lcd.  Is there
any way of fixing this myself?  Is the only way to remedy this to send
it back to Corvallis?  How much does a screen replacement cost (it's
obviously out of waranty)?  Is there any chain of shops that might fix
it locally (Lincoln, Nebraska)?

If I must send it to Corvallis, what's the procedure?  Is there a
number to call first, do I just snailmail it to them, or what?

My girlfriend has what I believe is the top of the line HP business 
calculator (I'm not sure on what the model # is, but it looks like
an HP 28S. Business Calc II??) not counting the 95LX.  She is always
complaining that it doesn't do what she wants it to do.

Is it possible to program or otherwise extend the functionality of this
sort of HP business calculator?  I looked through the manual and could
find only the ability to save new equations for the solver.  The reason 
that I ask is that I have an HP48SX and have found it programmable and
expandable in every way that I could ask for.  I am hoping against 
reason that the calculator in question is more programmable than it
appears, but that HP hid this so as not to scare off the business types.

I would greatly appreciate any information that anyone might have.

Thanks,

Yep, we all know this for sure, especially *now* after the (at least) fifteen
posts to the group on the subject.  I knew that the TICKS command is just
a single user binary number representing the exact same system time as returned
by the DATE and TIME commands.  I did it more to see whether or not there was
any foundation in the ever-popular "I can tell my 48 from yours by running
this program" line (there was not, of course - full results at the start of
next week . . .), and to see how much time elapses on average and in the extreme
between running two commands, but mostly to show just what sort of time the
TICKS command represented (like when TICKS returned #0, what sort of calendar,
and so on).  I don't suppose I made this clear in the original posting.  Keep
those flames a-comin'!  And keep those run times a-rollin' in, too!

To get a library that is created with USRLIB.EXE to attach with a system
reset (ON-C), you must create the library with a $CONFIG routine.  This
routine will be executed at aevery system reset.  The $CONFIG routine
must never error and leave the stack unchanged!!!  A routine such as 
<< xxxx ATTACH >> will do the trick (where xxxx is the library number).
This is all in the USRLIB.EXE documentation!

Hope this helps
