- I have a Commodore 128 and I have
-
- just purchased "Word Writer" from
-
- Timeworks and I have a problem with
-
- the letter 'Q'.
-
- When the CAPS LOCK is down, I still
-
- get a lower case 'q'. All the other
-
- letters are ok. Is this a hardware
-
- problem or software. Is there
-
- anything I can do about this?
-
- I have checked other Commodore 128
-
- computers and they do the same thing.

- On Loadstar #17, DOGFIGHT does not
-
- seem to work. The crosshair of the
-
- gun does not move. Is there a
-
- problem?

- I am having a problem copying files
-
- from Loadstar #19. I tried copying
-
- the ONE program so I could modify it.
-
- I have several copy programs to copy
-
- a disk, however I don't need the
-
- whole disk. I tried using a copy
-
- program for a dual drive to copy
-
- single files and it will only copy
-
- 53-55 of the 62 blocks of ONE
-
- and only a few of the ENTERTAINER.
-
- It will load the other programs for
-
- the game ONE ok, but not the main
-
- program.

-
- >The only suggestion we can come up
- >with is that your file copier,
- >cannot handle files as large as ONE
- >or ENTERTAINER. We suggest using
- >EASYCOPY from Loadstar #16.

-
- I have need for several new
-
- programs. If you have any information
-
- on these I would appreciate receiving
-
- it.
-
- I need a program that permits you
-
- to delete more than one line of a
-
- program at a time and also allows you
-
- to re-number a program.

-
-
- Do you know of a merging program
-
- which will merge sections of other
-
- programs into another program?
-
-
- >ML MERGE which appeared on Issue #16
- >of Loadstar allows this.
-
-
- How about a program for Commodore
-
- 64 similar to Apple II's EXEC?
-
-
- >We hope to publish an EXECer in the
- >near future. Be watching for it.
