Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

When running a program I can never get it to stop or clear. If I try any other operation such as using the "files" command the program in question continues. If I remove power from the Maximite, it of course clears memory and I can use the MM as expected to load/run/display files. Suggestions? Thank you

What are you doing to attempt to stop the program? Is it control-C that you have tried and it isn't working? Control-C stops a program.

For example:

10 print "Hi mom!"
20 goto 10

If you run this, it will loop the message until you press control-C.Edited by CircuitGizmos 2011-11-23

It is also kind of "standard behavior" as far as BASIC goes. At least for a lot of 1980s-style Home Computers.

I should have known. I'm embarrassed for asking! I first used Basic (I admit very little) when I purchased a Bally Home Library Computer, a Z80 based game console that as an option had tape cassette I/O and a Basic language cartridge. This was in early 1978. Laughable by today's standards but back then it was "leading edge" in the home computer world. I've built a kit called Altair 8800 Micro (Vince Briel) that is of course a Basic based machine. I'm adding an additional expansion board that will allow it to handle CP/M. So as you can see I'm into computer kits and their operation. I plan to build every variation of the PIC32 based device........just for fun. I don't have any particular use for any one of them. Just a "collector".;)
