I have been having a problem with formatted printing to RAM. Formatted printing to LCD or to the printer works fine. Note that the following test program prints to the screen OK, but sends garbage to the RAM file periodically, AND eventually crashes with a TM (type mismatch) error on line #50 after printing 10 lines. If you only have the first part of the format string (F$="###### "), the program does not crash, but it still sends garbage to the file. 10 REM TEST1.BA 15 F$="###### \ \ " 20 OPEN "DATA1.DO" FOR OUTPUT AS 1 30 T$="This is a test. ":N=1 40 PRINT USING F$;N;T$ 50 PRINT #1,USING F$;N;T$ 60 N=N+1:GOTO 40 Has anyone else experienced this problem? Do I have a bad ROM? Is there a fix? Any help will be appreciated. Regards, rod
