Steve – A few weeks ago we had the following interchange: > I will often have something else running in the background on its own > custom interlaced screen, such as DiskMaster or TurboText.

I thought I could just live with this until 2.0 got out, but now it's really getting on my nerves. Sometimes I can recover, but other times I cannot even warm-boot out, but have to cold-boot. Is there any known work-around or patch? Or would I just have to avoid the interlaced workbench? . . . . . JimDoc
