Thanks Poke 63056,128 does disable all normal function keys and the break key
but it has no effect on LCopy LList Label and Paste. Just cannot seem to stop
the thing from locking up have traced it to 29343 code JZ $1E5E If there were
a hook to tap into to check keypress for chr$(9) W/Carry before this point I
would use it Dave J
OK, now you're talking about operating system stuff, and it's more than I can
handle. Sorry. Perhaps someone else can jump in with some ideas for you. I
assume that simply checking to see if printer is on and/or ready won't work in
your application?
IF (INP (187) AND 6) = 2 THEN (printer ready)
IF = 6 THEN (printer not connected)
After rereading your message, seems to me you missed my comment about the
POKES.100 file. There is a poke modification that prevents ANY printer output,
bypassing the port completely…
"If you wish to disable printer output completely, in order to prevent a
program lockup if the printer is not on and ready, the folowing two pokes will
bypass the printer port:
POKE 64228,136:POKE 64229,20
(unquote) Lots of other goodies in that file if you haven't read it lately.
