BILL
I HAVE DOWNLOADED AND TRANSLATED THE VT52ASSIST.4TH AND MENUS FILES.
HERE I HAVE COUPLE QUESTIONS WHICH YOU MAY KNOW THE ANSWER:
1. HOW TO AVOID THE "FREEZING MOUTH" PROBLEM AFTER USING SERIAL I/O?
I HAVE FOLLOWED THE SUGGESTIONS IN MAC4TH NEWS LETTER WHICH SAYS THAT
" ... ON LINE 4 OF SCREEN 16 IN THE SERIALINTERFACE CODE:
TOKEN.FOR SERIAL.IN 'CLOSE.ALL W!
THIS POLITELY CLOSES ALL THE FILES...."
WELL, I TRIED AND IT DID NOT WORK.
2. AFTER INCLUDING THE TERMINAL ASSIST BLOCKS, I DID GET MENUS ON THE SCREEN
ALONG WITH THE MACFORTH BLOCKS MENU BARS. BUT THE MACFORTH MENU BARS WILL
DISAPPEAR THE SAME TIME AS I UNMAKE THE SOME OF THE MENU BARS OPEN FROM
OPTIO MENU EARLIER. DO YOU SEE OR HEAR ANYONE ELSE REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEM
?

THANKS.

DAVID LIU
