Allan,
The Caps lock key LED flashing is an indication you have a problem
with the keyboard. I'd suggest you make sure the connector is tight on the
A500. If the problem continues, take the computer back to a dealer for
repair.
Also, your message got truncated. CIS can only accept lines up to
132 characters and then you must enter a CR. The easiest way to do that is
to hit the Return key at the end of each line. While it looks like the text
is wrapping on your screen…it really isn't in CIS's editor. That is why if
you try to type a line longer than 132 characters…the screen will start to
flash. It's CIS's way of telling you that you are over the limit.

Allan, I had the same problem about a month ago – my Amiga would hang up with
the Caps Lock key flashing. This occurred without warning after several
months of trouble free operation. I took it back to my dealer and he
reseated the chips. I haven't had a problem since. Has your problem been
intermittent?
