AMIGABASIC "INPUT"
The AMIGA BASIC command "INPUT" does not seem to work (Commodore Extras 1.2).
The syntax, per the manual, is: INPUT[;][prompt string;]variable-list. I find
that the question-mark prints as expected, and the string also, if included,
but when INPUT is executed and I attempt to key in the data the screen just
flashes orange each time I hit a key without printing to the screen. I then
have to exit BASIC to get out of INPUT. The same thing happens on another
Amiga at a local Commodore dealer. They couldn't figure it out either. I've
written many programs using INPUT on my C-64 without any such trouble. Does
INPUT really work on 1.2 and, if so, what am I doing wrong that the manual
doesn't
tell me?
Thanks for any replies!
