- These are some hints to using C-Power 128.

- Written as subsequent file to another
- cnotes.txt file in this D/L section.

- 1. LIB.C on the program diskette is for
- the C-64 version and will never work as
- it is written. (Ashamed to admit it took
- me MONTHS to figure this out!). The SYS
- call in the GETCH function must have a
- BANK location included. It should read:
-
- getch()
- {
- char a, x, y;
-
- do
- sys (15, 0xffe4, &a, &x, &y);
- while (a == 0);
- return a;
- }
-
- This is an obscure little error, but would
- crash the LIB program every time! There
- has been a BASIC C library manager written
- and published by The TRANSACTOR, but it
- is so much nicer to have it run under the
- shell program.

- 2. There are multiple edit buffers for
- ED and CED. You call them from the CMD:
- prompt with 'go xxxx' where xxxx is your
- chosen name for the buffers other than MAIN
- and PASTE which the system sets-up. Use
- 'list' from the 'cmd:' prompt to see the
- available buffers.
-
- 3. You can cut & paste from any buffer!
- By using [run/stop] + cursor movement to
- tag the text you want to move then F5 to
- cut it to the 'PAST
